New description:

 The HTML message for !UnrecoverableFileError is:

 !UnrecoverableFileError: the directory (or mutable file) could not be
 retrieved, because there were insufficient good shares. This might
 indicate that no servers were connected, insufficient servers were
 connected, the URI was corrupt, or that shares have been lost due to
 server departure, hard drive failure, or disk corruption. You should
 perform a filecheck on this object to learn more.

 It would be better for "perform a filecheck on this object" to be a link
 that actually does so. In general, we're probably not taking advantage of
 the ability for HTML error messages to include links.
