Problem with my Rocky Mountain Sherpa 30

I have been using my Sherpa 30 as my commuter and on the way home today I heard a "tick tick tick" as I was riding. I couldn't figure it out and as I was pushing a serious headwind I just thought I would ride home and figure it out later.
20km later I'm home and after supper I put the bike on the work stand to figure this out.
My bike has less than 600km and is 4 months old.
When I start rotating the crank it needs some serious force to get past a particular point.
One of the chain ring bolts on the smallest sprocket has backed out.
This bolt has been tearing away at the chainstay near the BB. It looks awful and there is metal missing in the divot it created.
Will this weaken my Reynolds 853 frame?
I'm totally pissed about this and I think Rocky should replace the frame set under warranty.
I will go to my LBS on Monday and see what they think.
