  That's not an error message, it's an informational message. It may be
poorly chosen for wording, but it means everything is working just
right. You will only get it when you have stuff queued for them, so
there is a reason to log it.

  You can write a tiny logfile reader which drops this message and the
"no work" message if you spend a lot of time reading logs. I only look
at mine when there's a problem.
