Why is Social Ring Returning 404?

In Webmaster Tools I’m finding that on several of my blogs Social Ring is returning lots of 404s leading to pages that don’t exist.

Is there a possible conflict which is causing this with another plugin, or what else could be causing this issue?

These are just a few examples. On some blogs there are over 100 instances of such problems.

There was an old script (share.php) for the facebook share button. It has been removed since 1.2. You can ignore those 404, they don’t generate any SEO issue.
