Hi Charles, Thanks for the quick response.
I was using http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/guide/buci-tz.html as the guide and it states Warning Be sure to have no empty line at the end /etc/TZ - in that case your timezone will be set to back UTC. So I wasn't putting a "blank/new/whatever" after my single line. BUT a simple carriage return as you said " Um...you need to make sure there's a new line at the end of the single line in the /etc/TZ file") fixed all my issues.
