The messages you see are telling you about a message which happened int the
past.

ext4 stores errors, and reports them again every 24h, which seems to be a
source of confusion for most people who encounter it.  :(

this:
initial error at 1354656587
means that it happened at that unix timestamp, i.e. 

# date -u --date="1970-01-01 1354656587 sec GMT"
Tue Dec  4 21:29:47 UTC 2012

Newer e2fsck should clear the message, as of about version 1.41.14 IIRC.  Older
e2fsck does not, and the kernel message will repeat every 24h ad infinitum
until it gets cleared.
