I wouldn't look for echo statements, I'd look for "man" statements
(i.e., that looks like an error from the "man" command).
This is something that is going to be specific to your local setup,
and there isn't much that we can do to help you find it -- look again
in your .bashrc files (if you're a bash user) and perhaps in the
various shell startup files in /etc. You might want to put echo
statements in your own .bashrc (etc.) as a search method to try to
pin down where/when the errant command is coming from.

-x is for fault tolerant mode, meaning errors on the network
transport -- not errors in startup. You can, however, instruct
lamboot to ignore output on stderr during rsh-based boots by setting
the SSI parameter
boot_rsh_ignore_stderr
to 1. You can do this with:
shell$ lamboot -ssi boot_rsh_ignore_stderr 1 ...
or
shell$ export LAM_MPI_SSI_boot_rsh_ignore_stderr 1
shell$ lamboot ...
Hope that helps.
