cp: /home/rwatson/.Xauthority: Stale NFS file handle

I just got this error message while copying my .Xauthority file to 
another user's home directory.  I was root at the time, and the cp 
failed.  I guess this is a standard error, but failing a cp seems a 
little extreme, as it copied fine a second later.  Does this message mean 
anything in particular that I should know about?
