This is SQL Server error #296, nothing to do with FreeTDS.  To
demonstrate that, turn on TDSDUMP and you'll see the error being
returned by the server.  

I suspect either the language setting or the default date format is
wrong (where "wrong" means "different from what you expect").  Cf. "SET
DATEFORMAT" and "DBCC USEROPTIONS".
