This is because of an improper shutdown of the system. Probably you just 
turned the machine off, or restarted without first shutting down.

What happens is that there is a file used by the system which is marked 
for deletion when closed. The file do get deleted, because that part is 
managed right. However, the directory entry for the file is then still 
around. When the system starts up, it tries to open the existing file 
before creating a new one, and it does succeed in finding the file in 
the directory, but the actual file is not there anymore. So opening the 
file fails with this error code.

.err 346
000346 (230): %I/O-E-IE.NSF, no such file
.

The solution is to delete the directory entry:

PIP DU0:[1,6]SYSSCAN.TMP;/RM
