Oh, so are you compiling several pbf files and some work and one
fails? The setup that ran for 2min 13sec was probably OK, but
there is a faulty/bad pbf.

If that is true, then you need to look at the individual pbf files,
check that they are not zero size, too small or otherwise corrupted.

This happens happens after all pbf files have been compiled to .img
files and it means that one of the files did not compile and so the
.img is missing.
