The usual reason for that error is a full partition (/home or whatever 
you have your pan data dir, ~/.pan2 by default, on).  If you have plenty 
of room, what about quotas?  Do you have them turned on and maybe are up 
against a limit there?  What about a ulimit on open files?

If you're running extended attributes, selinux or some other security 
other than standard *ix file permissions (which it might not hurt to 
check as well, just to be sure), check them too.  And finally, do an fsck 
if you haven't in awhile, then open the named file in a text editor and 
ensure it doesn't look corrupted with a binary or some such.

Other than that, I don't know.  But the vast majority of the time it's a 
full partition (or exceeded quotas if you're using them), so check that 
first.
