The bug Peter referenced is not referring to this getting logged when the sessions happen to have expired, otherwise it means what it says, they're not there anymore.

Rules out premature timeouts I guess.

It would be SessionNotOnOrAfter that's involved, not that setting.

Well, the sessions aren't there. If you're using a local shibd in the usual mode on the same box with the web server with no clustering, then I really have no explanation for you other than shibd restarting on you constantly, causing the data to disappear. Any sign of that?
