The 'Timeout waiting ...' message comes from xymonnet running an 
external command: Either for an ntp- or rpc-test, or a traceroute to a 
host that failed the ping check. I see that you use the "--trace" 
option, so traceroute'ing could be the cause.

Try disabling any ntp- or rpc-tests (you probably don't have a lot of 
those), and remove the "--trace" option - that should make everything 
work fine. Then you can re-enable them and see where it breaks.
