[SOLVED] systemd-journald errors

Question

I set up a MythTV box the other day based on Arch (basically Arch+Openbox+Mythtv) and I get strange errors on shut down. It goes by extremely fast, but what I'm able to catch is:
systemd-journald failed to write entry 25 items
And some other stuff.
I'm not sure if it's related but in dmesg I see:
File /var/log/journal/eaa2513b7edf4267912b45e38d85d0e1/user-1000.journal corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing
I've deleted the entire /var/log/journal/eaa2513b7edf4267912b45e38d85d0e1 folder so it would be regenerated, but it didn't help.
Also, I've Googled this issue and found a bunch of topics with symptoms that match mine, but none of them have any solutions.

Have you tried XBMC?  I use that and it is pretty great (of course I have no other point of comparison).  It also appears to have infrared remote control support (lirc) and also has android remote control application that works quite well (and some nice unofficial ones as well).
No, I've not had a reason to try XBMC because MythTV has worked so well for me. I'm not sure what XBMC's capabilities are, but in Myth TV I was able to create custom menus using XML for my games, which is very helpful (I prefer to do this by hand, so I avoid the mythgame plugin). This HTPC is working _extremely_ well, I'm just trying to eliminate errors so I can take a clean image of it in case it needs to be restored down the road. I noticed another error regarding cgroup stating "option or name mismatch" on shut down which from what I'm reading appears to be harmless but I'm still investigating this one.
