I know this thread is over a year silent now. I have discovered the same 
error message, also on an agent and also with centralized configuration. 
The messages only show up on my Solaris agent. I have configured to 
automatically restart OSSEC if the agent.conf changes. Since the manager is 
running on CentOS and notified in realtime, that the agent.conf changed, I 
get an immediate restart of OSSEC on the manger. The new agent.conf will be 
pushed then directly to the clients, what causes the other CentOS with 
realtime monitoring to restart OSSEC. Since on Solaris
the realtime monitoring is not working, I need two syscheck cycles to 
ralize there is a new agent.conf file and OSSEC restarts. The messages 
occur in the period between the managers restart and the Solaris agent 
restart on the Solaris agent. They will disappear after a successful 
restart of the Solaris agent.
This is what I have seen in my environment, I have no idea if that is the 
correct behavior of OSSEC in that case or not. I have also not checked if I 
can force the agent to restart if he receives this Messages.
