I am being plagued by the grey goo fence error, an anti griefing script used by Linden Labs to stop rapid or recursive inventory transfer and other rapid script repetitions.
This is happening ever since the new Updater 1.56 was released yesterday.
Facts - Live cats rezzed on my sim update normally.
Kittycat boxes rezzed on my sim, update only the first few boxes before the grey goo fence error kicks in. It then stops the other updates and disables the updater script, leaving it hanging forever at "Searching for more Kittycats". Any box that triggered a grey goo fence error is NOT updated. You can only tell this by looking at Info in local chat and checking the Version number.
Fact - It is NOT sim lag. I have tried this on 4 different siims, all nearly empty and in good condition. It makes no difference where I try to update my boxes.
Fact - The number of boxes is not important either. I can set out 7 boxes to be updated and get the grey goo error at box 2. and 5 failures.
I can set out 100 boxes to be updated, and I still get the goo goo error shortly after the updating starts. Sometimes, I can get up to 5 boxes updated before failure.
The only way to reset the updater is to take it to inventory and rezz again. Then it repeats the failure mode with grey goo fence errors after a few boxes.
I am not the only one reporting this. BUT live cats do not generally trigger the grey goo fence error. Boxes do, but everyone has different results. Of course there are those that claim they just updated 50 boxes with no problem in 1 min. Let me send you my boxes then.
I have NEVER had a problem updating boxes, sometimes 150 at a time on my land, with prior KC updater versions.
This version brags it is faster. Well, LL also thinks it is a griefing tool, making those of us that breed and store boxes in-world, including shops, not happy campers.
This was supposed to be a painless upgrade, but spending 3 days trying to upgrade your inventory and still not finished is not painless !!
OK, the KC response so far is its a LL system thing and they don't know what to do about it. Maybe seeing if your new high speed updater triggers grey goo fence errors would be a start.
Yes of course I can just put all my boxes in the cattery, where they will update. And then bring them back one by one on a cattery dock, etc. IF that is the answer, then why even have an in-world updater tool?
I have filed tickets with Linden Lab, and a ticket to KC. I don't expect a solution, since "it isn't their problem".

Here is a recent example from my local chat - note that the first box is still Version 1.55:
