I noticed the same thing after I recently upgraded. It appears that a number of symbolic links in roms/mame-advmame were pointing at themselves. To fix I had to do the following:

cd /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-advmame
rm largefile/largefile 
rm hi/hi
rm memcard/memcard
rm artwork/artwork
rm diff/diff
rm inp/inp
rm nvram/nvram
rm sample/sample
rm snap/snap
rm sta/sta

@BugAttack thank you very much!

that helpt me out of trouble!

I have fixed this now - updating advmame should remove the bad symlinks also.
