In my Google Webmaster Tools, I received an error which I am not understanding:

When we tested a sample of the URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some of the URLs were unreachable. Please check your webserver for possible misconfiguration, as these errors may be caused by a server error (such as a 5xx error) or a network error between Googlebot and your server. All reachable URLs will still be submitted.

I received this warning for a URL that is currently working perfectly. Can you please tell me if this a serious warning, or what it means?

This simply means Googlebot could not search (crawl) the URLs defined in the provided sitemap. Failure can be caused by a number of reasons.

Some that I have found include:

Sitemap is syntactically incorrect. Use the W3 Validator to check.
Sitemap is incorrectly listing URLs.
Site was down/offline.
Site was slow and their crawler timed out.
Security settings prevented their bot from reaching specific pages. HTTP Authentication is a common issue.
Pages may no longer exist (which they should if they are in a sitemap.)
Corrupted HTTPS configuration.
Mobile sites that restrict access to mobile only clients.

You will want to examine your site's access and error logs for Googlebot queries. You can easily identify this by looking at the User-Agent string in your logs.

Here is a list of Google crawler agents.
