This is very strange, as US/Central and CST6CDT are both links to
Americal/Chicago in the 2.0.7 version that I am building for release
today.
The 2.0.7pre3 (which I have currently installed) seems to have these
as separate files.
Which version was the report logged against?

The important thing is, if the hardware clock is set to UTC, then the init
script should set the GMT variable to "-u" (Possibly "--utc"?). If the
hardware clock is set to Local Time, then GMT should be set to "".
With these two issues properly sync'd things should work properly.
