[ErrNo 17] file exists during classify

Hey there @mingala!

It looks like /nas1 is a network-mounted NFS drive:

@mingala

[gen-nas.internal.amnh.org](http://gen-nas.internal.amnh.org):/nas1 on /nas1 type nfs (rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,namlen=255,soft,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=172.16.9.82,mountvers=3,mountport=2049,mountproto=udp,local_lock=none,addr=172.16.9.82,_netdev)

My guess is that there is a driver or compatibility error happening here - it looks like the filesystem (and its metadata) is temporarily in an inconsistent state. This would be a good one to send towards your cluster sysadmin, they might have some ideas. I don't think this is a QIIME 2 error at this point, I think this has to do with the filesystem (either the local mount, or maybe on the NFS server...).

Please keep us posted.
