Hi Eric,
The error message is printed when the client is saying that it tried the
server that the redirector told it to use but could not find the file
there or got an I/O error. Since you have configured a Distributed File
System as the source of the data then any error on one server would,
presumably, be the same error on any other server (it is a DFS which
should be the same for every server). The redirector, by default, allows
this to happen twice. On the third attempt it issues the error message
because clearly there is no progress in resolving the problem by picking
another data server.
To find out what the error actually is, look at the data server log files
around the time the redirector issues the message and it will show what
the problem is at the server level.
