Strange error in start up log

according to
com.intellij.history.core.LocalVcs.a(LocalVcs.java:88)

could it come from my local history ?
I think it is stored in $USER_HOME$/.IntelliJIdea70/system/vcs

edit : when looking at my own vcs folder, the files named names.store contain absolute path, so it may well be this

Hello Eric,

You shouldn't keep your IntelliJ IDEA system directories when switching between
different OS environments. Just delete everything under the IntelliJ IDEA
system directory.

I am getting the following strange error in my startup log. I have
just moved from a windows environment to a mac, and it appears that
the FileSystemSynchronizer is picking up a path that no longer exists
(note the c:/bilco/logs' at the end of the path). It must be a
setting that came over from my windows environment, but I can not find
what file or preference it is in.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Eric

I don't think I did keep the system directories. Is that demonstrated in the info below? On the pc, the system and config directories are both under ]]>/.Intelli..70. On the mac, I found the config stuff in ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIDEA70 and the system stuff was put in ~/Library/Caches/IntelliJIDEA70. So, I copied the directory in Preferences to a different name, created a new directory IntelliJIDEA70 inside of preferences and copied my config directories from the PC over to the mac. I do not think I ever copied any files into the Caches intellij directory (just allowed stuff in their to be rebuilt as I rebuilt each of my projects).
