Any directory you are going to access from a program under wine needs to
be in wine.conf, and wine checks whether the current directory falls in
that category. I am assuming you don't need whatever program you are
running to access the /usr/bin directory, so the message is harmless.
Normally, you would not cd to /usr/bin to execute wine. Instead,
/usr/bin (or wherever you have wine) would be in your path, and you
would execute wine from somewhere in your home directory, or on your
/mnt/win_c partition. That should get rid of that error message.
