Guenter I can understand where you are coming from with the warn vs err
thing but IMHO that is a minor concern and I'm actually a fan of pushing
error logging closer to the first failing call so that we only have
one place to log the error instead of having to log it separately in
all the callers.

So I'm going to take this patch as is.
