The TSM server time is from Show Time.
Checking the TZ var with ps eww PID gives a list which doesn't contain
an entry for 'TZ'
Dsmserv was started by root;
>Ps -ef | grep dsmserv
root 1560588 1 42 15:00:05 - 631:22 ./dsmserv
this will have been via, 'nohup ./dsmserv 2>&1 >/dev/null &'
logging in as root and saying;
#>print ${TZ}
GMT0BST
....so, it seems TZ is lost somewhere, possibly something to do with the
nohup and the environment that gets passed to the process it starts?

Computer says 'No'..

Just to verify, first...
The TSM server time you are seeing is from SHow TIME?
The TZ environment variable was checked via 'ps eww <PID>' for the
running process?
(I would expect a problem like this where the TSM server process had
been started a long time ago, when a different TZ spec was in effect.)
You may have to try restarting the server.
FWIW, I'm running 5.2.4.0 and the time is correct, including a Daylight
Savings Time transition. In the distant past, this one-hour-off problem
had occurred in ADSM 3.1, but I haven't heard of a recurrence of late,
and a quick search didn't turn up a hit.
