Thanks for the response.
I am currently running the EtreCheck, it's checking Hardware right now, and will post the results when it has finished.
Last night I left the iMac doing a full Time Machine backup, new SSD, and when I fired it up this morning the lsd errors had stopped!
However, at 7:49am, they restarted! Apparently during the EtreCheck run.
