Earlier in the code I set the clock, and it gives me the correct time when I red back the time, so I'm assuming the clock works.  What am I missing? The call to timer_create is below:

Is the event structure properly initialized?  Look at
cpukit/posix/src/ptimer1.c and you can ee what is being
checked.

Did you configure timers?

And there is a bug in confdefs.h so configure RTEMS timers NOT
POSIX timers.
