I think I've discovered where the confusion lies. You have (or had) two archives. You were capturing to the older archive, but then you deleted all of the actions for that archive, created a new archive (with a different name), and created new actions for the new archive. The new archive is working just fine, but the old archive is no longer being captured to.
That's the reason it's status is giving you that warning.
Now, if the old archive is really dead and/or gone, then you can remove it from the status window by right/control+clicking on its status and choosing the Forget command. The status window will stop tracking that archive (unless you perform another action on it, then it will start monitoring it again).
