Continuous talpa warnings for tmpfs on Xbuntu 12.04

Kuba

 Hi,

I have a continuous flow of Linux kernel warnings, like the following ones:

[14571.156420] talpa-vfshook: talpaRelease: filename=NULL: fstype=tmpfs
[14571.157390] talpa: talpa__d_path: kenel_d_path returned NULL
[14571.158024] talpa:       file deleted
[14571.158990] talpa:       basename=drm mm object

What is very strange is that all of them are referred to the tmpfs file system type which is excluded from the scanning process:

$ sudo /opt/sophos-av/bin/savconfig --all query
...
ExcludeFilesystems: nfs
                                      tmpfs
                                      cifs
...

Where is the problem? What can I do to stop these warnings?

About my system:
$ uname -a
