This may be caused by access to a single file failing but it's most likely that the remotely NFS shared directory has gone offline, been unshared, renamed or deleted. The client has been sitting there holding open the NFS handle and when it has tried to read or write something, the object has disappeared.
Try changing directory (cd) to each of the remotely mounted resources and see if you can list the file (ls) on it. If you can't, try and remount that remote NFS resource. If you can't, there's your problem.
