Those are all warnings about the file content, which is fine, and shows 
that msgfmt can actually run.

I can think of a few things that could be a problem.  Maybe the 
temporary file that poedit tries to check can't be created.  This could 
be due to permissions on /tmp (or maybe no /tmp).  Or maybe poedit is 
trying to run it with a shell that is not installed (bash?)?
