now.year will be 2001

record.date.year (a DateType) stores the number of
years since 1904 (it only has 7 bits). So you need to
use
record.date.year = now.year - 1904;
2001 - 1904 is 97, which takes 7 bits, and is OK.
2001 requires 11 bits - not OK. Note that any system
that uses the original Macintosh date format will
suffer from the Y2K+32 problem.
