I may have found a fix after finding myself in the same situation after Aperture locked up, requiring a forced quit.
I noticed that when I got the same error message, the
filename in the error message referred to a
former location for the file. In other words, Aperture couldn't find the file because it thought the file was in a different location. To test my theory, I copied the directory of photos to the same location as in the error message. I now had about 200 photos that were located in
two locations (the current referenced location AND the folder listed in the error message).
I then selected that project and did File/Consolidate Masters. When I looked at both of the directories I saw that all but 6 of the photos were copied from the current referenced location. When I looked at the folder listed in the error message, I found those same 6 files missing. In other words, Aperture had found the files in the old location.
Afterwards, I wondered if "Locate Referenced Files" would have re-linked the files to their new location, but since then I haven't had the problem.
In any case, I hope this helps anyone with the same error.
