Vajram,

It means a node in the .img file has a BASEDATA object with an unknown data
type.  If things seem to be working ok anyways, then just ignore it and
continue on.  If not, you should consider filing a ticket and providing
the data with the ticket in some fashion.

Most likely the data is non-critical, but in at least some circumstances
the Python bindings are over sensitive to non-fatal errors issued down
deep in functions.

Best regards,
