Root [Root Checker] root present, with questionable errors?

Hey all!

I was searching around the net the other day, found an app... it's called LG Esteem Optimizer. Not sure if anyones used it, if its crap? idk... but I read about it, felt the same way as the app dev and hoped everything it promised to do, would work... so figured it cant hurt.

I installed it, launched the app and it told me my device doesn't have root access. This happened before with another app, but I forgot which it was... as this was a long time ago.

...anyway...

I downloaded Root Checker, ran root verification and was presented with this report:

Congratulations! You have root access!

Granted it says I have root access, there are some errors that I'm unsure if, and I wanted to ask you guys what to do, or if I should even worry about this. Thanks!

Oh, btw... I'm on the newest #2 right now, but I'm planning on flashing the homeless kernel again for better battery life.
 
I have an update, I did a CWM restore of stock and flashed the homeless kernel as planned.

Now, after restoring with titanium backup, I ran root checker, and this is what I got:

Congratulations! You have root access!
