remote store build (--store) causes benign "don't know how to build these paths" log #8052

Description

@rickynils

When running a remote store build (using nix build --eval-store --auto --store ssh-ng://...), Nix can output don't know how to build these paths before proceeding and building the derivation:

don't know how to build these paths:
  /nix/store/i22fvb148z1z4kp421lslna1nsaxb36h-plutus-core-1.1.1.0.drv
copying 0 paths...

This doesn't seem to hurt anything, but is a bit confusing.
