I am trying to checkout a file that exists in my document library.Both are uploaded manually. Whenever I click on checkout, i get the error

File Not Found.   at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite..ctor(SPFarm farm, Uri requestUri, Boolean contextSite, SPUserToken userToken) 
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite..ctor(String requestUrl) 
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb.GetWebRelativeUrlFromUrl(String strUrl, Boolean includeQueryString, Boolean canonicalizeUrl) 
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb.GetWebRelativeUrlFromUrl(String strUrl) 
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb.GetFile(String strUrl) 
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.Checkin.get_File() 
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.Checkin.OnLoad(EventArgs e) 
   at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() 
   at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)

But I can click 'Send to' then click 'download a copy' and I get the file just fine. What would be causing me not to be able to checkout files?

Does this file have any special characters in the name? Can you check out other files in the same document library? – Dave Wise Nov 2 '11 at 4:43
@DaveWise The name of the file is 'MBC Help', no any file that I upload or even files already there can not be checked out. – atrljoe Nov 2 '11 at 12:50

No, we have it structured that the main site sits at top then we have 100 or so sites that sit below it. I have tried it in a the top site (libraries like Pages, Style Library, Images etc) and it still does not work. I have also randomly selected a few of the sub-sites and tried the same procedure and still get the error. I can go to a page (like Welcome.aspx) in the Pages Library, and click on page which brings it up to allow for editing, I click edit page and this successfully checks out the page. Then I can go check it in. So I do not know what is going on. – atrljoe Nov 2 '11 at 16:07
Can you check your 12/LOGS and see if there are any other errors that are happening right around the same time these are? – Dave Wise Nov 2 '11 at 16:28
