    If I run the db update by hand it runs successfully. Any ideas?

    Hello, Please let us know the output from the following command:
    /usr/bin/test -x /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/update_db_cache && /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/update_db_cache
    Thank you.

    Just to follow up for anyone else having this problem, it turned out to be duplicate cron jobs that somehow got created when I had another user with UID 0. The duplicate user had the same cron jobs as root, and they were running at the same time. This was causing all sorts of intermittent errors. Removing the cron jobs appears to have fixed the problem, so if you are experiencing something similar, take a look at the cron jobs you have for each user.
