This didn't do the trick.  Still getting the messages in my reports.  :(

I had to add the logwatch dir to /etc as it wasn't present before but that did 
not help.  I have edited the hddtemp.conf file and added the HD names and 
started hddtemp but that hasn't helped.  I'm at the end of my rope as I 
cannot find the program that is starting this userhelper program.  I even 
went as far as to reboot thinking that soming might be just hung and causing 
this but that too did not help.
