You have to change the line in /etc/default/rcS which states
the CMOS clock configuration, haven't you?

================
# Set GMT="-u" if your system clock is set to GMT, and GMT="" if not.
GMT="-u" 
================

By the way,  how can i set  the time to meet  to summer time
(DST)  when  it starts  before  the  timezone defaults?  The
system has to be synchronized to a ntp server.
