I got a message from Crispin which doesn't seem to have mad it onto this
list, but which seems to have solved the problem:

su -
chmod a+r /dev/rtc

and if that doesn't work

chmod a+w /dev/rtc

and if you don't like the security implications of that (although I
don't know what they are), create an rtc group, give it access to
/dev/rtc and add yourself and other muse-users to it.  If you still
don't like that then I don't have an answer I'm afraid :(
