The leading 'W:' suggests warnings, which shouldn't be fatal -- does awesome quit and return to the command line after this? The errors themselves may be related to requests to grab a key which doesn't exist -- e.g. in the rc.lua bindings to keys which you don't have on the keyboard (partially guessing here).
