Your cron.weekly scripts could be affected by the timezone change...

Check your crontab, here is the default with RedHat 5.0 release:
    # run-parts
    01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
    02 1 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
    02 2 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
    02 3 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly

*notice that cron.weekly will run at 2 minutes past the 2nd hour on Sunday
(2:02 am)

Linux will update your local time automatically if you selected this option
at install time (this is common).
The update takes place at 02:00 and moves your clock to 03:00 on Sunday.
When this happens your cron.weekly will not run.
