I had this problem not too long ago, and I fixed it, but can't remember
exactly how. It was caused by answering use GMT during setup long, long
ago and fixed by changeing /etc/init.d/boot. There's a line in there
that says GMT=<someting>, which if you make it say GMT="" and reboot
all will be well.
