It could be a temporary error. Then you should see some message for the work item, but it will not be in status error until SWWERRE has retried the number of times that is specified in customizing (or overridden in the workflow definition). So e.g. if you set 9 retries and run SWWERRE every 20 minutes it takes approximately 3 hours before the work item status is ERROR.
