its checking for the correct owner of the usr directory.
If you do:
ls -ld /usr
you should see something like:
drwxr-xr-x 21 root wheel 512 Oct 2 13:37 /usr
where 'root' is the username of the owner of the directory '/usr' and
'wheel' is the group which owns '/usr'.
If you look in /etc/passwd, you'll see the list of usernames and their
user ID's. root has user ID 0. So I think if you do 'ls -ld /usr' on
your machine you'll see that the user ID of the owner of '/usr' is 213.
The warning means "/usr is owned by the user with user ID of 213, but it
should be owned by the user with user ID 0"
hope this helps.
