The problem is: If you have a field named something_date, CF will try to validate a formfield something as a US date. As the field something doesn't exist, the validation will fail. The value of the form field is used as errormessage (that's why the message is like that). The solution is to change the name of the formfield something_date. If you _absolutly_ want that name kept, create a hidden formfield with the name 'something' and the value '01/01/2000'.
