Cannot stat?

Hi! I ran into a problem with a job I'm running. All it is doing is a "touch" on a filename. However, when I ran the job, it error'd out and got the message 'cannot stat'. When I restarted the job (making no changes) it worked just fine. Anyone know what this means?

Not much to go on here. My best guess: the file to be touched existed early in the execution of the touch command but was removed before the touch command completed.
