Error location navigation in Vim Syntastic
:lne[xt]
and :lp[revious]
are the correct shortcuts.
But :lN[ext]
is not the same as :lne[xt]
: it's an alternative to :lp[revious]
.
The message you get is due to the fact that these command don't wrap around when you reach the last or the first error.
The commands you listed in your question both jump to the previous error but chances are you are already on the first error and there's nothing before. use the right commands, keep in mind that they don't wrap around and you'll be good.
Read :h location-list
for a complete list of commands.
If there's only one issue in the list, :ll
will navigate to it.
Here's a fix for your .vimrc that will make keys mapped to :lnext
and :lprev
work correctly in the case of only one issue (by jumping to it). Change the nmappings at the end to your preferred key sequence.

Since :lnext
etc. are tedious to type (you usually want to iterate quickly over them, the unimpaired.vim - Pairs of handy bracket mappings plugin provides (among others) short ]l
mappings.
