I just noticed the following error on one of my systems and I hope sharing it here is useful:
After looking for the specific unit on the WU Status page, I found out that I'm not the only one.
I already found the following answer:

bruce wrote:The RMSE error message is from the part of the FAHCore that validates that the WU is coherent and is intended to stop processing if there has been a gross error before you waste a lot of time just to have the WU discarded later. The threshold of 5 is supposed to allow for floating point truncation errors and other factors where the calculations are "close enough" vs. "Wrong"
Obviously 6.7 is only a little too much error, but you have to set a threshold somewhere.
