not Metamorph inverted

Hi,
I did a rewalk type "new" on our site last night and I'm getting this error message when search on a phrase that contains a dash:

WARNING: Index C:\Program Files\Thunderstone Software\Webinator\texis\newrsa\db2\T02616a is not Metamorph inverted (for phrase `ssl-j')

I have no idea what it means or how to fix it.

A dash makes the terms into a phrase (ie. they must occur adjacent and in order). To fully resolve the query without post-processing (which can take time and is thus generally disabled), a full Metamorph inverted index is needed.

Such an inverted index is normally what Webinator produces for the main search indexes. However, other indexes may not be inverted. What was the full query given? Was this a main text search or something else? Were any indexes created "by hand" in the scripts?
