Re: what's the exact meaning of those messages?

It's just that it couldn't complete archiving immediately, so it will do it asap. That delay (which seems very small from the numbers you show) can be decreased by either making archiving faster (faster disks? network? whatever...) or by archiving less (yeah, right, that sounds easy to do!).
