error code -50

I have an external hard drive with a bunch of files on it. When I try to move the files around, it won't let me and I get an error message:


The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -50).


I tried modifying the permissions of the drive and files to Read & Write but it didn't make a difference. Does anybody know what this could mean? Could it mean the drive is failing?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
