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.
