That's good.

As the error suggests, these are probably NFS failures.  I take it
you're building on NFS?  

Because distcc runs compilations faster than an average bear, it can
stress networks and filesystems more than normal and find latent
problems.

If the filesystem is failing there may not be much distcc can do.  But
if you can isolate the problem, perhaps we can work around it, or at
least document it.

So you should try to work out what is calling NFS to fail.  Maybe you
need a patch, or maybe there is some option that can be changed to
reduce the amount of caching.
