Updated version Information.. 

For shadow  profiles. I have a empty graphs and statistics grids  full of zeros 
..  generating a report by moving the slider around  on the blank graph pulls 
data from that time period. 

for continuous profile The graphs are empty, and the statistics  grid beneath 
the graph holds all xxx's. Generating a report  by moving the slider around on 
the blank graph produces  file-not-found errors..

Also note botnet plugin produces the following every five minutes  Error 
reading statinfo of 'botnets': No flow file for requested time slot

Attached screenshot of shadow profile.. wierd

As I said - this is not a 'mis-behaving' set an expire time and this messages 
is gone!
The imprtant issue is, that your profiles do work. Ignore channel messages like 
these.
