If it wasn't set up correctly I'd expect it to not work at all.

If you can catch it when it's in the stalled state, I'd check the
netstat entry corresponding to the sshd to see if there's anything in
the "SendQ" (which would indicate a problem with the network) and
strace the sshd and sftp-server processes to see what if anything
they're waiting on.

The "on the hour" nature of it makes me suspicious, though.  Do you do
anything like roll the syslogs on the hour?
