I put half on and it's failing again, now i'll remove half that, etc. as you've suggested.

Yup, one of those files is simply corrupted. As soon as you narrow down which one, your problems will be solved.

one thing is, i'm moving these files over a good fast ethernet connection, any idea why i'm only getting 400k/sec?

The empeg is only 10mbps, and the hard disk access speed and protocol overheads reduce that even further. 400-700k per second sounds about average.

You could check and make sure you're getting full-duplex on that connection, otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.
