Just an annoyance.  Assuming it's generated by logrotate (you'll have
to check the lines surrounding the error message to confirm it), you
can silence it like this:

Edit /etc/logrotate.d/cobblerd_rotate:
    In the section for /var/log/cobbler/tasks/*.log:
        Add "missingok" on a line by itself
