I believe I've had this message once before (after my May reply of course).
If I remember correctly the HC or CI-1 (whichever I was using, probably the CI-1) was not altogether close to the module. Moving it real close, as in only a couple of inches away let the update or copy, whichever I was doing complete.
All I can suggest is to keep trying, perhaps in a different part of the house if you have other wireless devices in the same area.
