Normally it does, at least. Sometimes it means that a *directory*
doesn't exist (for instance, you can get this when you try to create a
new file, which otherwise wouldn't make sense), and occasionally,
Windows will give you rather peculiar errors when weird things go
wrong, which may be what's going on here (maximum path length - though
that can be overridden by switching to a UNC-style path).

Steven's point still stands - very different from SyntaxError - but
unfortunately it's not always as simple as the name suggests. Thank
you oh so much, Windows.
