Whereas those look like errors they're actually just warnings, see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=620566 and
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=620699

We'd have to know what your 'aufs' mount looks like,
seems to be a problem with your setup/configuration.

BTW: Please note that grml2hd installations are NOT supported and
you should be able to deal with Debian/unstable.
