Those looks like transient failures collecting status from some system... since Cloudmin re-checks each managed system every 5 minutes, unless these failures are happening consistently I wouldn't worry much about them.

That said, I've never seen this before myself. How heavily loaded is your Cloudmin master system?

Not loaded at all... the master system is running just cloudmin and 2 kvm instances, one being debian 6.0 and one being windows 2008 r2 server. Maybe the Windows server is posing some problems?

Maybe .. but unless this is happening every time you run /etc/webmin/server-manager/status.pl manually as root from the command line, I would just ignore it.

You can supress the emails by running crontab -e and adding 2>/dev/null to the end of the /etc/webmin/server-manager/status.pl command.
