Running traildash reports issues with certain messages produced by cloudtrail

Digging shows this message is the initial Cloudtrail validation message, which should be skipped/ignored/auto-accepted.

I noticed a similar issue when copying Cloudtrail logs from a different bucket (in a different AWS account) into mine and using the SQS notification on object creation to fetch these, compared the *.json.gz files and they had similar file properties however it would keep giving
2015/03/11 07:13:49 Error dequeing from SQS: Inner JSON Unmarshal error [id: ]: unexpected end of JSON input

Thanks for the report @atward. It should be easy to swallow this message - will post an update soon.
