You're going to have to get your hands dirty - start again, and stop things
when you see that error.  Find out what went wrong, fix it, and restart
the process.

Somewhere, somehow, FlowScan got ahold of an out-of-order file, or
otherwise move the timestamp ahead of your backlog of data.  Use
"date -r NNNNNN" to convert the numeric timestamps in the error message
into normal dates, that should give you a hint.  Also, look for running
jobs or cron entries that might call FlowScan or drop things in its
directory.  It might be the "link me" script that runs on the 5 minute
rotation that is somehow confusing things.
