It means "I don't know." Once upon a time the phrase was "Je ne sais pas." Over time the phrase has been truncated and altered to the version above.

Quite literally, it is the French translation for 'I don't know'. However, it is usually employed by pretentious critics of aesthetic items such as food, art, music etc, to create a false aura of subtlety. In other words, anybody who says it, unless they are French and clueless, is a cretin. I hope this answers your question.
