Can anyone tell me what the following messages mean? I cannot see any references to what a signature is. I downloaded a fresh version of this file from Lunatics, just to make sure it wasn't a bad download.

It means the app_info.xml doesn't match what you have in the project folder. BOINC's attempt to download the file is futile, there's no URL.

Basically you need to redo whatever optimized application installation you attempted, or do a detach and reattach to the project if you're trying to go back to stock applications. The detach will remove the project folder, so if you have some other S@H tasks in progress you'll lose those too. If possible set No New Tasks, wait for that work to complete, and use the Update button to report it before doing a detach.
