I suspect your battery is not well connected.
I kept getting going back to the 70s with one of my loggers for a while. It was groovy but a pain in the rump. When I re-soldered the battery connections, it all got better.

I don't know why, but now it works. Maybe it really was the battery connection. But why would it then show the right date and logg the false?
For safety I resoldered the battery connections.

Thanks a lot to adafruit support and lemuroid!

One common problem is forgetting the blob of solder under the battery clip. You really need this to make solid contact with the battery.

Sounds like the library was not installed in the expected location. See this tutorial for instructions on how and where to install your libraries: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-all- ... nstall-use
