Cisco AP throwing mismatch errors

I have a couple Cisco Aironet  1200 APs on my network.  I keep getting the same error message over and over on these and can't figure out why.

The error is: %CDP-4-DUPLEX_MISMATCH: duplex mismatch discovered on FastEthernet0 (not half duplex), with SPR-SPL Ethernet1/0 (half duplex).

"SPR-SPL" is the hostname of my Cisco 3600 router for my P2P.  I have checked and Ethernet1/0 is set to full duplex and not auto.  I don't understand why this error is being thrown from the AP anyway as they are both plugged into switches and not into each other.  The AP is plugged into an edge switch that goes to the core and the router is directly into the core.

Are the ports on your switch set static as well?  They need to be.

Yes, I have forced the switch port to full-duplex as well and I'm still seeing the errors
10 full?  Don't allow the speed to auto negotiate either.

The Core Switch and 3600 Router (SPR-SPL) have been forced to 10 full.  The switch and router are showing that interface at 10/full but the wireless AP is still crying about a duplex mismatch.  I don't understand why the AP even cares.  It isn't directly connected to the router so why should it care if it's fastethernet port has the same duplex settings as the router's ethernet port?  Does anyone know why/how the AP is even seeing this "mismatch"?  Does anyone know how to turn off this network snooping?
FYI - I have done a reload on both Cisco devices in the event they needed a restart after their settings change.
