When I create a profile for MAME versions 82, 83, and 84, I get an error mesage regarding some of the CHD files that I don't understand. Can you explain what the messages mean?

MAME 82 has some sort of problem with:
sfrushrk/sfrushrk.chd
hyprdriv/hyprdriv.chd

MAME 83 has some sort of problem with:
hyprdriv/hyprdriv.chd

MAME 84 has some sort of problem with:
hyprdriv/hyprdriv.chd

Well...you have to list the exact message which appears in the scanresults window tree. Usually it says what's wrong with it.
Or do you mean while receiving the data from it in the profiler? If so...same procedure: List the exact errormessage. When I'm back home I can try to run an old MAME.
Usually errormessage while receiving data are database bugs...like wrong parent/clone relationships etc....

on a sidenote: there is no reason to use old MAME versions.


*edit*

Well....the cause of the errormessage is obvious if you look at MAME's -listxml output.

disk name="sfrushrk" region="disks" index="0"

(same for the other)

It doesn't list any SHA1 or MD5 value (since they weren't dumped back at that time). Since the hashvalues are a mandatory attribut, clrmamepro doesn't import these chds.
