 * Hi,
 * That error means that when the File Change Detection was running something went
   wrong causing the scan to be aborted. Do you have any successful scans in your
   logs? If you go to Security> Settings> File Change Detection and run the file
   change, does it finish or error out? If you have successful scans and/or the 
   file change detection scan works in that module this was most likely a temporary
   scan failure.
 * Thanks,
 * Matt
