Ok,
First, this is not an error. Just a warning.
Explanation:
Before WG++ grabs on a website, it will check if the webserver has set its robots.txt file. (this is a simple .txt file in the root of the website)
By setting this file, a website can inform grabers (like WG++, Yahoo, Google, ...) what pages it doesn't want to be grabbed.
If the file is not found, you get this warning in the logging. And because it is missing, this means the site allows grabbing the entire website.
More info about the robots.txt can be found on : http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/robots.html
 
I think you get a correct listing after the grabbing? See you have 141 show grabed.
