The scalar coordinate vars are formally aux coord vars, because they are named
by the coordinates attribute. There has been confusion for a long time on
whether the axis attribute is allowed for aux coord vars, but we eventually
decided that it should be. This has been agreed on trac ticket 62
https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/62
which should go in the next version of CF. Therefore you could ignore these
errors. The checker will be updated when CF is.
Best wishes
