So I got this error the other day when putting together a dev site collection usign varations:

An error was encountered performing this operation. You may re-try the operation, and you may need to clean up the half-created data first before re-trying. If the problem persists, please contact your system administrator

This was actually a fairly easy fix for me.  I simply had to enable the publishing features in my site.  Which is funny...because they should have been on but I must have overlooked that.  :)
