Hey,
sorry to necro this thread, but I do have the exact same issue:
I set up weewx for a klimalogg which was already running since end of 2013.
Once I connected everything it started reading out the historical data:

As you see on line with the time stamp 21:00:06 for some reason it now says
"next=39180"
and five more minutes of "the next batch will start in 5 minutes" messages:
