This error means that I need to modify the source code to print a
better error message with the real reason for the error :)

I guess this may have happened if PIM-SM has just deleted a (S,G)
Multicast Forwarding Entry (MFE), but then there is an attempt to
install a dataflow monitoring entry for the same (S,G).
Ideally, this shoudn't happen, but even if it happens it shoudn't
affect anything and can be ignored. How often do you see this
message?

To verify the reason for the error can you send me the log message
from the moment XORP was started (if the log is too long you don't
need to cc the ML)
