[zebra 22855] Can't find originating ASBR route

I'm looking for some direction on the following error I get in my ospfd log.

2006/05/11 04:36:55 OSPF: Route[External]: Calculate AS-external-LSA to 
0.0.0.0/0
2006/05/11 04:36:55 OSPF: Route[External]: Can't find originating ASBR route

192.168.93.0/28
2006/05/11 04:36:55 OSPF: Route[External]: AS-external-LSA is self originated
2006/05/11 04:36:55 OSPF: Route[External]: Calculate AS-external-LSA to

2006/05/11 04:36:55 OSPF: Route[External]: AS-external-LSA is self originated

I'm using .93a zebra.  I speculate this error is because I don't have the router 
that sits at my border to the Internet configured to let the rest of the routers 
know it is a border router or the routers which have the above static routes are 
not presenting them to the rest of the network correctly.

The above configuration works but every minute all the static routes to routers 
at the edge of my main network list the above messages in the log and the routes 
need to be refreshed.

My problem is I know enough about OSPF and Zebra to be dangerous not good and 
several trips through Cisco's IP router and OSPF book did not fill in enough 
blanks for me to be able to identify the problem.  Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.

Below are the configuration files for the router bordering the Internet 
connection and then one of the routers that sits at an office edge and has a 
static route that points to that office network.

The messages I get in the logs are for the nets like the one above
