stat writer error

[Aki Tuomi]

Hi!

For small systems I'd recommend fixing this with

service stats {
  unix-socket stats-writer {
    mode = 0666
  }
}

The error itself is not really an error, and it only means that you
don't get stats from the process warning about these. If you are not
using the new metrics system this is not a problem.
