Insert Into @temptable hangs but #temptable works

I have a simple temp table declared as a table variable. This is used on nearly 50 deployed databases and works fin. However, on one server, 2008-R2 as are all the others, the Insert statement hangs.  If I change to a #temptable the exact same code works.  Is there a configuration setting that would account for this behavior.  This is what the code looks like;

On all my other servers this works fine.  On one server it would hang until I modified it to use CREATE table #Counts.

declare @Counts table 
	(
		CountOf varchar(10), StatusID bigint, StatusName varchar(30), TheCount bigint
	)

	insert into @Counts
	Select 
		'Files' as CountOf, 
		sc.StatusID as StatusID, 
		sc.StatusName as StatusName, 
		count_big(*) as TheCount
	from 
	dfFiles f with (nolock)
	join dfFolders d with (nolock)
		on d.folderid = f.folderid
	join dfVolumes v with (nolock)
		on v.VolumeUID = d.VolumeUID
		and v.MachineName = @MachineName
	join dfStatusCodes sc with (nolock)
		on sc.StatusID = f.StatusID
	group by sc.StatusID, sc.StatusName

	union all

	Select 
		'Folders' as CountOf, 
		sc.StatusID as StatusID, 
		sc.StatusName as StatusName, 
		count_big(*) as TheCount
	from 
		dfFolders d with (nolock)
	join dfVolumes v with (nolock)
		on v.VolumeUID = d.VolumeUID
		and v.MachineName = @MachineName
	join dfStatusCodes sc with (nolock)
		on sc.StatusID = d.StatusID
	group by sc.StatusID, sc.StatusName
