Both, permanent and temporary bans have the same "8002A227" error code. (It just means you currently have no access to PSN)
Could be one, could be the other. I'd suggest to anyone calling SONY if you'd like to know which yours is, like this sir did.

I have 4 ps3s so it didn't matter much though/
You sir, have a nice PS3 tree. I should get one.
