14 hours after the volume move, or after the server was turned off?
(when was the server turned off relative to the moves finishing?)

I'm actually a little less sure of what we do if we cannot contact the
server at all. While I'm pretty certain this works if we get an error
code from the server (otherwise moves wouldn't really work), being
unable to contact the server at all in such a situation is less common,
and so there may be a bug lurking there.
