Thx Norman, that's useful. I figure out how this works:
d = new date sets d.GMToffset to the current system's offset (I was
wondering how to get this number automatically).
timeOffset = d.GMToffset ' save the current time offset
d.GMTOffset = 0 ' set to 0 because you get true GMT time in the next line
d.SQLDateTime = theMDitem.getAttributeValue("kMDItemContentCreationDate")
d.GMTOffset = timeOffset ' reset the current location's GMToffset for display

What version of RB are you using ?
2006 added a GMT offset to the Date class which you can adjust and
the date adjusts accordingly
On older versions you have to do this for yourself
