Authentication missing, please enter username/password from

I'm running SAB on my MBP and my Mac Mini. I have SickBeard set up for both, working fine. I also have CouchPotato setup for the Mini, working fine.

On the Mini (and not the MBP), my SAB gives a "Authentication missing, please enter username/password from Config->General into your 3rd party program:" every 30 minutes, and for the life of me I can't work out what the culprit is. I don't use myNZB or any other iOS app, etc.

As an aside, I have SABnzbdX running on my MBP to monitor my Mac Mini SAB queue, I also use Safari on the MBP to access the full SAB interface on the Mini. I also have Little Snitch running on the MBP (but not the Mini).

Any of these the likely culprit?

Possibly. Some security PITAs insist on connecting to anything that looks like a website.
You can suppress the warning in the special option section.

I changed the api_warnings setting to 0, but it's still happening...
