In a Virtex-4 design using clock capable I/O driving a BUFIO and correctly locked to a clock capable I/O, PACE results in the following error in DRC:
"I/O is using a clock buffer but is not placed in a GCLK or GCK type pin. Please move it to a GCLK or GCK pin."
However, my design implements without further errors.
As long as you are confident that the clock is correctly locked to a clock-capable I/O and only driving a BUFIO, you can ignore this error. Check your pin location in the Virtex-4 Packaging and Pinout Specification in the Virtex-4 User Guide:

You can check that the routing from the clock-capable I/O to the BUFIO is correct in FPGA Editor.
This problem has been fixed in the latest 9.1i Service Pack available at:

The first service pack containing the fix is 9.1i Service Pack 2.
