This is just telling you the number of operations that returned a
failure code to the client. It includes all of the "normal" errors
you get when accessing files (file not found, file exists, no space
left on device, is a directory etc. etc.), so there is nothing
unusual about seeing this number grow quite quickly.

To see the actual errors, run tcpdump with a suitably large snaplen
and look at the lines containing "ERROR" and the preceding requests.
You'll probably mainly see stuff like programs looking for optional
config files or trying each component of $PATH.
