Mike,

Do you have any environment variables set that relate to the timezone?
Try:

        % env|grep TZ

as both yourself and as root. Sounds like you have a mismatch here
somewhere. In particular the "TZ" environment variable can be set
per-user, but generally that functionality isn't used.

Also, make sure the file /etc/timezone contains the correct setting
for your system and make sure you have the proper setting for UTC in
/etc/default/rcS so that it matches what your BIOS clock is set to
(either local, UTC=no, or UTC=yes if your BIOS clock is set to UTC
time). You can use the hwclock utility to find this out.
