"log" entries in client-local.cfg refer to logfiles which must exist.
If they are missing, then You will get warnings like the one you see.

The solution is to configure the logfiles correctly. So in your
client-local.cfg you should have a separate section for the "unusual"
host, cc-1:

[linux]
log:/var/log/messages:10240
file:/var/log/messages:md5

[cc-1]
log:/var/log/messages:10240
log:/var/log/bull/bull.log:10240
file:/var/log/messages:md5


There was a suggestion the other day that it would be nice to have
logfiles which were "optional" - this would let you keep your current
client-local.cfg setup. I plan to release this shortly.
