Windows 7 sp1 failing wtih 80004005

Instaling my last Win7 sp1 and it gets a 80004005. x64. I know from other threads that this is a generic error. I've tried the following:

1. sfc/scannow - indicated no errors

2. System update readiness tool - cbs logs indicated no errors

3. Followed this http://blogs.technet.com/b/asiasupp/archive/2011/03/22/windows-7-sp1-installation-failed-with-error-0x80004005-e-fail.aspx

No change.

In reviewing the cbs.log file the only thing I can see is ths:
