You get this error when the elfi daemon serving a certain mountpoint has died, and you try to do any operation on that filesystem, such as listing a directory, or trying to access a file. For instance:

$ ls "/elfi/mount/point" 
ls: /elfi/mount/point: Transport endpoint is not connected

$ cat xxx/.elfi.id
cat: xxx/.elfi.id: Transport endpoint is not connected

You need to unmount the filesystem and mount elfi again before you can resume normal operation. Unmounting a stale filesystem can be accomplished by elfi --unmount:

elfi --unmount "/elfi/mount/point"

Note that you will also get this error if you try to mount a new elfi filesystem over a dead one:

$ ./elfi --debug "/elfi/mount/point"
Error accessing mountpoint '/elfi/mount/point': Transport endpoint is not connected
Exiting.

Again, you will need to unmount the dead filesystem before you can mount a new one.
