I've tried installed ntpdate and tried setting "Set Date/Time automatically" but it quickly sets the system time to UTC.. Am at my wits end.. Been using Linux for a LONG time and never had a weird issue like this...

Hi Dave,
Please send us the output of this set of commands
cat /etc/adjtime
cat /etc/default/rcS
cat /etc/timezone
echo $TZ
sudo /sbin/hwclock --debug --show
Thanks!
