This happened to me and I had a heck of a time getting it fixed.
It is possible that you can use

	SETCLOCK OPT RESET
	or
	SETCLOCK RESET

under 1.3, but in my case this had no effect at all - 'battery
backed up clock not found' was my only response...

Finally someone suggested using the 1.2 SETCLOCK command - I tried
it and IT WORKED.  Now my clock is happy once again and I don't need
to set it every time I reboot.
