Hmm well the error message is in response to the CMOS clock being set. If you are running ntpd it will periodically try and sync the CMOS clock to that of the more accurate system clock. However something appears to be going wrong and your hardware clock is vastly out of sync with kernel's clock.

See http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-s-trbl-spec.htm#Q-LINUX-SET-RTC-MMSS for some details.

Dave:

What happens if (as root) you do
ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com
hwclock -c

Do the messages go away?
