A very "rough" translation:

"Sendmail running on the host "enterprise" is attempting to write
a file to the filesystem.  Either the filesystem (directory) itself doesn't
exist, or the file itself has been deleted, but the mail daemon wasn't
made aware of it."

Any chance that the system's mail queues (under /var/spool) have
been altered manually?
