Good point. There are a lot of posts to the list where nxagent exits with 
status 1 but the log gives no indication as to why this might have happened 
(and there are _many_ reasons!). A lot of people skip past this and assume 
the error is due to missing files because some of the cleanup code tries and 
fails to remove nonexisting files, and complains about it. A clear message 
that nxagent failing like this is a problem would be good. Instructions on 
which log files to enable and look at would be even better.
