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

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
