That message is coming from tcsh, not coreutils.

Don't use .csh scripts?

Beyond that, all I can suggest is to either:
1) change whatever input file you feed to dircolors (several distros let
you customize things in ~/.dircolors), until you omit whatever part of
that file is making dircolors generate the 'rs' designation that tcsh
doesn't like
2) hand-edit $LS_COLORS in your environment to manually omit that portion
3) file a bug report against your distro's packaging of tcsh to get them
to shut up tcsh's stupid message.  It's a bit of a shame that tcsh's
built-in 'ls' understands only a subset of LS_COLORS that coreutils' ls
understands, yet verbally complains about what it doesn't recognize.

At any rate, since this is not a bug in coreutils, I'm closing the
associated bug report, although you should feel free to continue on this
thread if you have more questions or comments.
