What does caution sign mean in iPhoto? I can open and view some of my photos, but some I can't.  How do you solve this problem?

I accidentally created an Event with flagged photos.  I didn't really want to do that, but couln't "undo" it.  I used Time Machine to restore iphoto, going to the day before the incident happened.  I tried holding down the option key and reboot iphoto.  I tried to restore using Time Machine again.  I used Disk Utilities to repair permissions.  I tried to rebuild thumbnails.  None of this worked.  Does anyone have a solution to this?  I upgraded to Mavericks when it first came out and things seemed to be fine since then until this happened.  Not sure if this is a Mavericks issue or something I did. 

Just to give you a few more details- I saw a previous post from you responding to someone else about a similar Issue-
- What version of iPhoto. 
9.5.1
- What version of the Operating System.
Mavericks
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
I was trying to edit photos- so double clicking on a thumbnail to make it larger so I could edit it and the gray caution sign appeared.
- History: Is this going on long?
2 weeks
Has anything been installed or deleted?
Turbo Tax installed from the internet.  Nothing deleted that i know of.
- Are there error messages?
Error message -54 if I'm using the right error going quickly from one thumbnail to the next. 
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Just mentioned this in my previous reply a few minutes ago.
- Anything unusual about your set up?
I don't think so.
Or how you use iPhoto?
Just have 4 cameras that I use to export from the camera to iphoto- none of them are new cameras so that hasn't changed.  I don't think there is anything I'm doing that is unusual- just your basic editing, etc.
