[PVFS2-developers] Unfriendly error message

I have a patch for the bmi error messages that I am going to post to the 
list real soon now :)  This is one of the ones that it fixes.

The problem in this particular case is not negation- it was just a 
missed case in the conversion from errno to PVFS_error values in the bmi 
code.  (strerror is being called on a PVFS_error value and gets confused).
