That should be true about `/data1_node5/arch/00000001.history'  since there may not be any timelines created by previous archiver recoveries

But the message

cp: cannot stat  `/data1_node5/arch/000000010000000000000007''

suggests that it was not able to restore one of the log files while doing the recovery So it can be treated as an error I guess due to missing log file in the archive folder. That might be due to the archive command not setup correctly and as a result it was not able to copy files from pg_xlog to archive folder.

What makes you think this is an error?  As pointed out in the docs,
the archive_recovery command *will* be asked for files that don't
exist.  You might want to tweak your script to not report an error
in this case.
