The extra argument (jiffies) seems to be what is confusing the compiler.
Possible solutions:
1) use a different version of gcc
2) Drop the toublesome argument, e.g.
#define MSG(string, args...) printk(KERN_INFO "MYMOD: "string, ##args)
3) Use two seperate printk's, e.g.
#define MSG(string, args...) do { \
printk(KERN_INFO "MYMOD[%lu]: ", jiffies); \
printk(string, ##args); \
} while(0)
