    I ran into this issue today and have not seen any posting regarding how to fix this in Linux, after using find and stat this is how you fix it....

    Within your fms directory their is a file named '. ' notice the extra spacing at the end, or follow this example.

    [root@xxx fms]# stat .*
      File: `.'
      Size: 4096            Blocks: 8          IO Block: 4096   directory
    Device: 301h/769d       Inode: 1167925     Links: 10
    Access: (0775/drwxrwxr-x)  Uid: (   xxx/  xxxxxx)   Gid: (  xxx/xxxxxx)
    Access: 2011-03-22 16:30:47.000000000 -0400
    Modify: 2011-03-22 16:17:13.000000000 -0400
    Change: 2011-03-22 16:28:42.000000000 -0400
      File: `.        '
      Size: 18              Blocks: 8          IO Block: 4096   regular file
    Device: 301h/769d       Inode: 1167965     Links: 1
    Access: (0660/-rw-rw----)  Uid: (    xxx/    xxxxxx)   Gid: (  xxx/xxxxxx)
    Access: 2011-03-22 16:16:53.000000000 -0400
    Modify: 2011-03-23 16:59:26.000000000 -0400
    Change: 2011-03-23 16:59:26.000000000 -0400

    Notice that the directory has a newer timestamp, and the file has a timestamp in the future due to adjusting the system clock.

    Simply stop fms, mv the file, and start fms, tail -f your master.00.log file to confirm things start without a clock error.

    service fms stop && mv '.        '  test && service fms start

    Try removing the file in the folder if it has a modified time in the future:
    \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Macromedia\FMS

    As an emergency I've changed the date to August 2006 - but this is not a solution since I have routines that uses the system date and now every thing is very wrong!!!
