Although you have removed the PV from the volume group it still has a
PV label on it which has the same UUID value as some other valid
device that is part of the volume group.

You should verify which device is correct and then remove the PV label
from the other device (or re-run pvcreate to give it a new random UUID):

# pvremove /dev/sdc1

Once the label is removed you should stop seeing those messages.

Bryn.
