It appears to be alot stickier than any one problem to be honest. I found this thread from someone having precisely the same issue. Seems he was given some pretty questionable advice in the end, only making things worse.
As I said, I used the directions on that blog post on 2 other servers with zero issues. My searches have gleaned nada and I get the feeling it's the sort of issue only a Sysadmin could fix by actually having access to the server. We will look at consulting our support providers, but we may just live with manually adjusting the timezone to GMT-13 until DST ends, as the problem server in question should be redundant by the time DST.kicks in again.
