A possible alternative is using the ZTimestampFormatter from the ZTimestamp 
package (see ConfigurationBrowser):

'file-{1}.ext' format: { 
        (ZTimestampFormat fromString: '0102031605') format: TimeStamp now }.

        =>  'file-1310272012.ext’

'file-{1}.ext' format: { 
        (ZTimestampFormat fromString: '200102031605') format: ZTimestamp now }.

        =>  'file-201310271913.ext’

The former is local time, the latter is UTC.
