Just to make things even more confusing, have you checked out the docs for the ParseDatetime function?
There is an entry stating this: pop-conversion pop: Specifies that the date/time string is in POP format, which includes the local time of the sender and a time-zone offset from UTC. ColdFusion applies the offset and returns a value with the UTC time. Followed by line stating this: Note: This function does not accept POP dates. ?? Someone was smoking crack when that function was written, or at least when the docs were written... bye!
