Don't think so, that has a ":" in the name. But I think this touches a
fair point, I think we need to make all the dsm error messages more
distinctive. The history since this has been committed makes it likely
that there will be more errors.

Yea, I don't think this explains the issue but something independent
that needs to be fixed.

There actually is code that retries, but only for EEXISTS.
