I'm having some issues with SQL Views as well, but for viewparams, this 
is working for me:

...&viewparams=minDate:2010-12-10&...

I'm using a SQL view using PostGIS where 'minDate' is being applied to a 
TIMESTAMP without time zone.  If you are storing multiple time zones, 
and genuinely need the timezone and times, I would try:

...&viewparams=minDate:2010-12-10%2000:00:00%20GMT&...


Hope this helps.
