Incidentally-- if you leave off the "+1300" and use a 12-hour (non-military) time (e.g. 7:54:39 PM), it DOES work. Watch this:
TWU:/home/fox/mailpull# date --date="Mon, 1 Oct 2001 7:54:39 PM" Mon Oct 1 19:54:39 CDT 2001 TWU:/home/fox/mailpull# date --date="Mon, 1 Oct 2001 7:54:39 PM +1300" date: invalid date `Mon, 1 Oct 2001 7:54:39 PM +1300' So, it works when you use non-military time. It works when you use RFC-822 style numeric timezones... but not both.
