Mmm, just guessing here, but if you are reading the EXIF information 
(static metadata) and is wrong it should be displayed the same (wrong) 
when you attach the SD card into another OS. Have you tested in another 
computer/OS? If so, what result are you getting?

Make a copy of one of the images with a wrong "File date" EXIF tag and 
try to correct it with "jhead", then check again with "ls -l".

Also, review the camera's timezone offset setting.

Again, does this happens with any media files stored in other devices or 
just with DSC images?
