Cisco 2921 seems to be excluding addresses from DHCP pool?

I have a cisco 2921 with several DHCP pools that seems to be giving me a hard time.  I recently started having issues without it not handing out addressses.  I assumed it had run out of addresses as had handed out some of them.  When I checked the bindings there were plenty of addresses left, say 20 out of 50 for a particular pool.  I added on to the pool by excluding fewer addresses and it immediately starting handing out from that range.

Is the relevant DHCP portion of my config.  I turned on DHCP debugging in hopes of finding out why it wasnt handing out addresses and I am getting a lot of the below.

The pool that was the issues was the 192.168.3.0/24
The messages are from one of the other pools and I am not sure if they are related but I am confused as to why messages similar to the ones above are constantly showing up as the addresses are not exculded from the pools by the config?

Are these two pools in the same subnet?  Are they both being used?

ip dhcp pool STATIC1
