"This error is usually caused by running a command from a directory that no longer exist. Try changing your directory and re-run the command."

Because this is the top search result for the error string, I thought it would be useful to note the cause that was hitting me, running the program that was running File::Find in a virtual terminal where the current location in that terminal window no longer existed.

I banged my head against this wall for a while, never suspecting it was just my habit of forgetting to close those terminal windows after I'd changed or removed their original location. Anyway, make sure that's not the cause if you get these errors. Luckily I found the actual answer on another page, so thought it would be good to have it here too.
