Yeah, I think that doug is on to something here. The $DATE$ keyword is referring to seconds, I believe, and thus you need to add six months worth of seconds. Note, that $DATE$ calculates to midnight that day, so if you need to calculate six months from now, then you will likely need to use $TIMESTAMP$. Using $DATE$ will give you 6 months from the beginning of the current day. Also, as a good note, I would suggest adding the parenthesis, although they should not be required.

Yes, that's exactly what I did.
