This is a bug in e2fsprogs version 1.38+1.39-WIP-2005.12.10-1. Details
and workaround at:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=343662
(bug 343645 is the same issue, FWIW). Or you can stick with 1.38 for
the time being.

Hopefully, this will get you going again. I simply went into BIOS and
changed the time for the one time I have dealt with this now. I still
need to take the time to review the fix and implement it.
