Update: I've include my urdf file. What would cause the joint states to come up emtpy?

Update: Where are these transforms coming from? I've had not seen link transforms before when I was using a single urdf file for both gazebo and rviz. Now that I split them I am getting these odd transforms with NaN data.

Original: I get the following errors from the robot state publisher...where can I locate the source of this error in the file description and what am I looking for.

Getting the following errors. I have no user nodes running. I am running the joint_state_publisher and the robot_state_publisher

Error:   TF_NAN_INPUT: Ignoring transform for child_frame_id "left_wheel" from authority "/robot_state_publisher" because of a nan value in the transform (-nan -nan -nan) (-nan -nan -nan -nan)

Sorry...I was under the impression that this the joint state publisher took joint states from gazebo and published them to ros. It does not.
