I don't think this list is intended for support, probably go here for support:

But the answer to your question looks like you are confusing shares in
the share chain with shares your miner finds. Your miner will report
every difficulty 1 share (unless you changed something). However, you
only get payout credit for every share you submit to the p2pool LTC
share chain. In your screenshot, you can see that it should take over
4 days of mining to find a payout share.
Q: Why am I not getting very many shares?!
A: The P2Pool difficulty is hundreds of times higher than on other
pools. It can take time to get a share. P2Pool displays an estimate of
how long you have to wait in the console output.
Q: Why does my miner say it has found a lot of shares but p2pool say I
have only found a few?!
A: The real P2Pool difficulty is hundreds of times higher than on
normal pools, but p2pool essentially lies to your miner and tells it
to work on relatively easy shares so that it submits shares every few
seconds instead of every few hours. P2Pool then ignores any submitted
shares that don't match the real share difficulty. By doing this,
P2Pool can more accurately report your local hash rate and you can see
if you are having problems with too many stale shares quickly
