SCC barfing on check systems it can't handle is a problem with SCC.  They
were not following the XCCDF specification for processing the available
check systems.  I don't know if they've fixed it -- maybe Jack V is lurking
here, and could say so.

I'd look at the OVAL results file if you want to see what openscap is
gathering, in order to determine the overall pass/fail in the XCCDF
results.  Look for a few different options for output in `man oscap` --
look for "oval-results".   As for all stages of the OVAL evaluation
 (including what may be filtered) ... that's pretty complicated and may
require putting oscap into a debug mode, but removing any filters
temporarily may be informative.
