We couldn't go into observation because ALIGN_IFO and ISC_LOCK were having disagreements about who was managing SQZ_MANAGER and complaining one was stolen by the other.
I removed SQZ_MANAGER from ALIGN_IFO line 40:
node_list = sus_nodes + ['SQZ_MANAGER']
I reloaded and then all the warnings went away. I then put it back in, reloaded, and everything was fine.
