Are any of the fibers broken? If not, put some clear nail polish or epoxy over it and ride.
If you see broken fibers, consult an expert in the area (Calfee, for example) of fiber building and repair.
To be honest, your first picture makes me feel like it's just a paint chip. No blatantly obvious broken fibers...

I know someone who had a case of chain suck on his new Jamis bike, and the damage looked like it went deeper than the paint. Jamis told him that the chainstays are really sturdy and can handle a couple of chain sucks. Since your damage doesn't look so bad, and it is in an area of the bike where tubes intersect that should already be reinforced, I would put clear nail polish over it and leave it alone.

Completely wrong side of the bike. Note the seat post and brake caliper.

I think Fuji will tell you to go to a local authorized reseller to look at the frame. Based on the pictures, I don't think it will be covered under the warranty. Also, warranties for paint finish are usually much shorter than the frame warranty.
