Just tried your script, got the same problem. I tried subtracting one
day from all the March dates and everything worked.
Those March days are all Daylight Saving Time switchover days, aren't
they? (If they're not, I'm going to look really stupid...) There is
no 2:00AM hour on those days, thus the dates really are invalid.
