It means that the exec was found in a DCSS (e.g. INSTSEG), but there is a copy on disk that has a filemode lower in the search order than the filemode associated with the DCSS. It's just a warning that the in-memory copy will not be the one that runs, but "here's the fileblock anyway since that's what you asked for".
