awesome3 + xcompmgr produces Error

edited to add:  I have searched these forums, the wiki and Google with no results.

x started from cli with startx.
.xinitrc contains exec xcompmgr &
                          exec awesome

After X starts and I open another program, the following error appears on my tty1:

error 3:  BadWindow (invalid window parameter) request 15 minor 0 serial 59422

The number after 'serial' changes with each error.

If I comment out the exec xcompmgr line in .xinitrc the error messages stop. I've tried using both xcompmgr via pacman and the one in AUR (xcompmgr-git) with the same resuluts.

I'm trying to enable transparency for my terminal urxvt.

Still getting the same message. I'm currently using xcompmgr-git.
