There's a bug in the code in that it isn't telling you the name of the
file it was trying to open, nor the option that it was trying to check.

Sorry about that. I'll fix those problems.

The real problem is that you have mentioned some file name in the
configuration as part of a host list, and the file doesn't exist.
