Updating policy stuck at "Awaiting Policy Transfer"

I have an updating policy defined which works fine for several machines, but on one particular machine, it gets stuck in the console for updating policy at "Awaiting Policy Transfer"

It does in fact assign the primary source correctly, and the client downloads and updates fine. This machine is also running the update manager, and that works fine as well.

I looked at C:\ProgramData\Sophos\AutoUpdate\Config\iconn.cfg file, and it contains the following. it contains a proxy port, which it shouldn't, and I am not sure how this is being populated, as I have never specfied a proxy.

I've tried uninstalling all Sophos apps, including the update manager, and reinstalling, but it keeps on creating the same iconn.cfg file with the proxy. i have also deleted it from the console and added it again.

Has anyone run into this issue and found a resolution ?

My next step is to unisntall everything again, delete it from the console, and then try and purge it from the database to see if tha t works. I would prefer to find an easier resolution though.
