Apple Hardware Test - Errorcode 4HDD/11/40000004:SATA(0,0)

Just go my new imac, 2 weeks ago.
This weeekend, it packed up and stopped after the chime with grey screen. Tried restarting in Disk mode, from DVD with C pressed down, hardware test with D, nothing. Went to my local service center who took a look at it today. He managed to get it to start from the DVD after several tries and reinstalled Leopard.
I picked up the iMac earlier today, not exactly content that it was really "fixed" properly, and ran an extended Hardware test when I came home. It ends with an error message 4HDD/11/40000004:SATA(0,0).
Any idea what that means. Something with the disk perhaps? I ran a Verify Disk inside the Disk Utility, and it looks good.

I don't feel to happy having a brand new imac that doesn't pass the hardware test cleanly, even though it seems to work fine right now. Would appreciate any advice of whether I should return it again, or whether the error actually doesn't mean anything.....

Intel imac 24, Mac OS X (10.5.1)
