Error updating user-locale to US

Question

Using CME 3.3. 
Cisco IOS Software, 2600 Software (C2691-IPVOICEK9-M), Version 12.4(25d)
Attempting to update user-locale on 7912 phone via telephony-service command and get error of 
cme_router(config-telephony)#user-locale US
Updating CNF files
%Error deleting flash:SEPDEFAULT.cnf (No such file or directory)
%Error deleting flash:XMLDefault.cnf.xml (No such file or directory)CNF files update complete
cme_router(config-telephony)#
I do a cd flash: and run dir.
Shows other files her but not 2 files mentioned above. 
However it does show XMLDefault7912.cnf.xml with 786 bytes and crashinfo_20020301-022926 with 198274 bytes
crashinfo_20020301-022926 is full of entries with each entry having a date of 10:00:42 GMT Fri Mar 1 2002 (which is the date the router was before I updated via clock set command)
Any ideas are appreciated

As you can see. There is no file called SEPDEFAULT.cnf under this location. Unless its hidden or some other reason.
BTW. I have tried to update routers clock setting by below method to no success. Each time I turn router off/on, it goes back to year 2002Step1: Router#config tStep2: Router(config)#clock timezone PST -8 00Step3: Router(config)#endStep4: Router#clock set 00:36:00 16 Nov 2013Step5: Router#sh clock detail
00:36:24.083 PST Sat Nov 16 2013
Time source is user configurationStep6: Router#clock updateStep7: Router#copy run start
