I see these too. I don't think it's anything to worry about. It has to do
with lack of a network device. Like myself your machine probably has no
ethernet card and relies on ppp for its net connection. As ppp is not
active during this portion of the boot, these errors result from the
this attempt.

The path is correct. The message is because there was no xfs daemon to
kill. Reporting the path is somewhat confusing as the path exists even
when the daemon is not running.
