Me too - same error on all my boxes - however the package was installed fine anyway.

You probably had nothing in /var/lib/hwclock, so pacman removed the directory upon update. However, util-linux.install again tried to remove it via rmdir which, of course, failed.
So, the error is a harmless packaging bug...

Thanks Allan, and everyone else, for the report. I missed that obvious case. Will sort it out. -t
