Prestage package status not updating on the server

I have been successful in extracting other prestage packages on DP but for 2 packages, it extract them fine as per the logs and sends the status to the MP as well but the server doesnt reflect the updated status.

prestagecontent.log shows the following

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Management Point: 'http://<MP Name>'      

Site Code: '<Sitecode>' PrestageContent            

DP server: '<DP server name>'         

NAL Path: ["Display=\\<DP server name>\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=<sitecode>"]\\<DP server name>\'                PrestageContent            

Set authenticator in transport    PrestageContent            

Sent <packageID> package state message to site 

End ====

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What could be the reason, i have tried to recopy the packages from the original source and tried extracting 2-3 times

using the extraction switch "/f" as well but didnt reflect the status.

Prestage option is already checked.

Didnt work Xin

I cross checked and tried some of the points but it didnt work.

The issue is faced with two prestage packages on two servers. 

I tried creating another prestage packages for those SUP's and one of them worked but the other still didnt work.

What could be the conflict ?

What does the distmgr.log says for the DP on its parent site ? did it get succeeded with code 3 or 4 ? 
when the prestaging is done on the DP,it will send status message to its site (.STA) .
3-- PKG_STATUS_INSTALLED
4--- PKG_STATUS_RETRY 
also do check pkgxfermgr.log on site if it the target DP producing any errors

Yes, I know this is an old post, but Im trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?

Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening  a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.
