It shows that the file is written on a NFS file system. CFT needs a Posix compliant file system and NFS isn't. The error decribed here is a typical one for CFT on NFS. To decrease the frequence of the issue (it's impossible to avoid it completely - one of inconveniences of NFS) , the NFS should be mounted in the "hard" (not "soft") way and the option TCP has to be used (not UDP).
