What architecture? What kernel version? Are you in fact running xntpd?

Well, since you looked at the source: For some randomly chosen kernel version and architecture it does
if (abs(real_minutes - cmos_minutes) < 30) { update_cmos() } else { printk("set_rtc_mmss: can't update from %d to %d\n", cmos_minutes, real_minutes); }
so if your cmos time is 0.001 sec ahead of your system time then around the hour you'll see set_rtc_mmss: can't update from 0 to 59
Of course, messing with the cmos clock at all was a rather bad idea, but that is a different discussion.
