Micheal,
I'm also out of ideas. I had a similar problem when doing a clean re-install of gentoo on a fresh drive. However, the CLOCK="local" fixed the problem for me.

Good idea, but no banana.

I just found out something interesting whilst fiddling:
TZ is the local users timezone setting, it can be set different to the systemwide default of /etc/localtime. This is so someone logging in from the other side of the world can have their own timezone, via setting their TZ variable
now most people will not have TZ set, as they are logging in to a local machine and /etc/localtime will fix it.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] nick $ env|grep TZ (no output, ie TZ is not set, even to null, in my environment) [EMAIL PROTECTED] nick $date Fri Mar 4 09:29:00 NZDT 2005
BUT if TZ is present in your environment, but set to null, the system will give UTC
[EMAIL PROTECTED] nick $ TZ= date Thu Mar 3 20:29:51 UTC 2005
(thats a space after TZ= , ie set TZ to null.)
I think you should see if TZ exists in your environment by :
env|grep TZ

--what is TZ set to?
echo $TZ
this takes preference over the system wide preference set by /etc/localtime
