Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Europe/Berlin' for 'CEST/2.0/DST' instead in /Library/WebServer/Documents/xataface/dataface-public-api.php on line 651

A couple of things:

1. I think you have E_STRICT turned on. Many of these errors are due to maintaining PHP 4 compatibility. If you turn off E_STRICT it should fix these errors. As I have made the choice to stop supporting PHP 4, future versions will likely remove these compatibility issues.

2. There has been a bug reported in PHP 5.3.0 with the parse_ini_file() function that prevents Xataface from working correctly in this version.

I haven't checked to see which version this was fixed in, but it says it was fixed in SVN so should be included in latest release. If possible please either upgrade or downgrade your php (assuming this bug affects your version).
