is this a normal message or is this a sector boundary error? the files were 3 files from the JB3, 1st set, 2nd set and encore. should I be FLACing them one at a time since they were never part of the same file? thanks for any feedback.

Its a normal message if you have Allgin on Sector Boundaries checked.  It just prevents a pop to occur between tracks if you plan to make a gapless cd from the flac files.
