(Sorry for the delay in replying.  I don't burn CDs and DVDs very
often.)

I've copied it to 'violations.ignore.d/local-kernel' and the error
still pops up.  I'll try commenting it out in 'violations.d/kernel'
next.

Here's what I don't understand:

I have a file named '/etc/logcheck/custom-ignore' that is symlinked
into all the other '/etc/logcheck/*ignore*' directories.  Most of the
time I can suppress an unwanted message by adding it to that "master
file", but sometimes it doesn't work and I have to make a special file
for it.  Why?
