It looks like you had added a file named '* virexit' to the agenda list,
but that file doesn't exist anymore.

`org-contacts' uses the agenda views to display contacts. I don't know
the internals of `org-agenda' very well but I guess that it checks for
agenda files even if the caller doesn't need them, hence the error.

I don't know (yet) if it's possible to disable this behavior, but in the
meantime you can remove the file from the agenda list.

Best,
