OK, now I see that my previous messages were unclear. You should try it
like this:

hwclock --directisa --show
hwclock --directisa --set --date="23 Apr 2007 13:06:46"

Adding HWCLOCKPARS="--directisa" to /etc/default/rcS means that this
option is used when hwclock is called during boot-up and shutdown, but
it has no influence if you run the command directly.

Those commands were successful. At the moment, I think I have the problem
fixed. I had a little trouble with ntpd, but it kicked in when I stopped and
restarted it. Then I set the hardware clock with:

hwclock --directisa --hctosys

It appears that this happens normally in /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh, which had
the empty assignment

HWCLOCKPARS=

I have switched this to

HWCLOCKPARS="--directisa"

It may be this needs to be set in hwclock.sh, not in /etc/default/rcS. I'll
keep an eye on things. Thanks for your help.
