Sorry about that.  SHX/SHP/DBF are the ones of interest, and PROJ
later.

It's a warning.  It's telling you that it can't find a match for the
columns in your DBF file, so you'll end up getting the vectors
drawn, but you won't end up with pretty colors, different line
widths, or labels for those vectors.
