Whenever I try to put Moodle  3.3.2 in Maintenance Mode, non-logged in users get a 404 error message.

The error logs indicate that maintanance.html is missing:

2017/09/13 19:55:22 [error] 23151#23151: *3047 open() "/home/mysite/moodle/maintenance.html" failed (2: No such file or directory) while sending to client, client: 2601:3c4:201:658f:383d:352c:e7e2:1ae3, server: edu.mysite.xyz, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: "edu.mshealthcarealliance.org", referrer: "https://edu.mysite.xyz/"

That file does not exist in the moodle folder or sub-folders in any version I have had.

Any idea why this is happening and what I can do to resolve it?

There's no such file (correctly) in Moodle. 

The only reference I can think of to maintenance.html is that you can add it as a file in your 'moodledata' area as one option for setting maintenance mode. See - https://docs.moodle.org/33/en/Maintenance_mode.

My best guess is that something other than (core) Moodle is causing this but I'm not sure what.
