LaunchServices: Could not store lsd-identifiers file at /private/var/db/lsd/com.apple.lsdschemes.plist

I get a lot of those entries in the console: lsd[364]: LaunchServices: Could not store lsd-identifiers file at /private/var/db/lsd/com.apple.lsdschemes.plist

I have updated to El Cap from Mavericks. I have checked the disk with DiskUtility and DiskWarrior. All OK.

Checking this folder /private/var/db/lsd/ I found that it didn't exist. Created.

The file com.apple.lsdschemes.plist was created in this folder but I still get those messages in the Console!?

MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11)

Thanks, that annoyance is finally gone. As you said, though, a red herring.
