This is an interesting errno. the Single Unix Specification defines it as being 'Reserved', and gives no further help. The Linux source uses it in a few places for what appears to be networking related (eg: the network card has no link). Man pages around the Internet imply that it's a filesystem error -- the file could not be found because a link to the remote host is down.
if you get this error, good luck, and please, let us know how you did it :)

+Looking at the 2.4.12 kernel source, it happens if:
+ * an [ATM] link loses its [VCC]
+ * A usb network device loses its network link.
+So the device is still working properly, it can't contact the remote end. How this is different to [EHOSTDOWN] or [EHOSTUNREACH] is not clear.
