The problem is that the log file has dates that are in the future when
compared to the current record that MRTG is trying to add.

The fix depends on how badly you want to keep the historical data.

Easy:  Delete the .log and .old files, MRTG will start over as of now
but you lose all old data.

Hard:  Determine the offset in seconds for the time that your machine was
out of sync.  (How many seconds in the future was it?).  Write a script
to subtract that number from the first field of all of the entries in the
log file for the period where the machine was out of step.


Free clue:  NTP is your friend.
