Alberto,
These errors are somehow caused by the \partial command. If I comment  
out all lines with \partial commands in them then I don't get any  
barcheck failures. And the -5/8 could be related to the \partial 8*5  
commands.
I wouldn't worry about it too much if I were you. The \partial command  
and the barchecks don't live well together. If your score is ok, then  
forget about the barcheck failures.

The "Known issues and warnings" about partial is worth a look too: <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Displaying-rhythms#index-_005cpartial-1

HTH,
