I had the same problem once. I think this error message is because the log file is empty.

Not the nicest solution, but it worked for me:
Mail the eicar antivirus testfile on http://www.eicar.org/ to yourself and I think this will solve your problem.

I am sure Lourens is right !
"No such file or directory" is no good input for grep
... or mrtg

and the reason to write this is that I HEAVILY RECOMMEND testing any antivirus setup with "eicar".
Or does anybody really want to test it with a "live" virus ???

Actually I recommend to test with all 4 versions:
eicar.com
eicar.com.txt
eicar_com.zip
eicarcom2.zip
