What exactly is a stop mask error and is it important or can I ignore
it. It seems to be mostly silk screen related.

From the manual:
If there are silkscreen objects drawn in layers 21, 25, 27 for
components on the Top layer, and 22, 26, and 28 for components
on the Bottom layer overlapping the area of a solder stop symbol
generated in layer 29 and 30, the DRC reports a Stopmask error.
You have to display the corresponding layers to activate this check!
Please keep in mind that this check always takes the vector font
as basis for the calculation of the required space.
This is the font type the CAM Processor uses
for manufacturing data generation.
