Err 01 - Communications between the camera and lens is faulty

The EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens is not working properly. I get an error message that says "Err 01 - Communications between the camera and lens is faulty. Check the lens contacts." The lens gives the same error with either camera (40D or 50D). It started occurring sporadically when we were in Aspen, but then yesterday it was so bad I couldn't get it to take a pic when I wanted it to. I tried cleaning the contacts on the lens with an eraser today, but I doubt it will help. It looks like I will have to Canon for repair for the 3rd time.
