Argh, I hate hwclock :(

What does "strace hwclock --systohc --utc" say?  That usually helps to
identify the problem.  It would make much more sense if hwclock just printed
the system error code it code, rather than making something up.  In my
experience, the problem has _never_ been that I forgot to run it with
superuser privilege.

Have fun,
