I'm guessing it does not parse the μμ correctly. You could either using the 24 
hour clock (eg. 1pm is 13:00) or using the english for "pm" if that's an 
option. Does either "14/4/2008 13:00:00" or "14/4/2008 1:00:00 pm" work?

That's a timezone issue. "14/4/2008" is "14/4/2008 00:00" (ie. midnight). So 
that's getting parsed as "13/4/2008 9:00:00 pm" GMT but then displayed in GMT 
rather than your local timezone. That might be a configuration issue on your 
server or trac.

Which release of trac are you running?
