Have you tried a different cable?  This is the kind of thing I've seen with 
intermittent connections (cold solder joint, lead sitting on pad w/o 
solder, a broken wire that makes contact as long as the cable sits just 
so).  Also are you using the appropriate power supply for your level 
translator (not running a 5V chip on 3.3V)?
