Can anyone tell me what this error means?

I recieve the following message well into the script. Several dtasets have already been saved to this workspace. This is the only place to script fails. dist_Raster_0 also exists in the workspace and is not empty. Any ideas?



ExecuteError: ERROR 999999: Error executing function.
The table was not found. [VAT_dist_Raster_0]
