These warnings are quite benign. What abiword does is the following:
1) Try to recognize the document's contents
2) If that doesn't work, try to recognize the document's extension
3) If that doesn't work, open it as text
So what you see is the Psion importer trying to recognize the contents of the
file and failing. This is normal.
