No, these messages are a result of disconnected clients that reconnect
and check whether their cached data is still uptodate. The recurring messages
are a result of a minor problem with the revalidation. A whole bunch of
fids (normally 50) are piggybacked on a regular GetAttr call. When the
object of the getattr fails all piggybacked validations are I believe checked,
but the results are ignored by the client. The next object which is checked is
given the same piggybacked fids.
