Salah,

It means the source file had specific color interpretations for the source
bands (ie. red, green and blue) and tried to set those on the HDF file but
this failed.  That is undoubtedly because HDF format does not include
specific support for color interpretation.

This is not a serious error, and I believe the current CVS version of GDAL
supresses the message to avoid undue concern.

Best regards,
