You may see this on a new client (agent) install, especially if you modify the 
client ossec.conf to only contain the IP of the server.  I handle this by 
starting the client, waiting a few moments, and then restarting the client.  
Typically the agent.conf is sent from the server to the client within the first 
few seconds so a restart causes the client to properly see the agent.conf file 
and act accordingly.
