They mean that the computer was unable to communicate with a USB device; it expected to send or receive 6 bytes of data but got no response -- not even an acknowledgment. The two most likely causes are hardware problems (cable issues or noise) or firmware bugs in the device. If everything continues to work okay in spite of the errors then you don't have to worry about them, although you might try replacing a USB cable.
