Fail to call child package

Have a parent package that calls many child packages (over 30) for a daily data warehouse update. On any given day, it randomly fails to call a child package with the following error:

Error 0x800706BE while preparing to load the package. The remote procedure call failed.

Its not failing the same package each day. I need a better explanation of this error message.

Environment: SQL2005 Enterprise Dec2005 RTM on Itanium64 with Windows DataCenter.

Are all the Execute Package tasks in the parent package configured identically? Where are the child packages stored?|||Yes, all Exec Package tasks are set up the same. All packages are stored in MSDB on our DataWarehouse server. Because we have such a large volume of packages (200), we are using folders to separate the packages. The parent package calls children in the Dimensions and various other folders. The call failures span many of the children folders, so there doesn't seem to be a pattern.
