Is this something to do with the Pi not having a hardware clock?
IOW when it boots up, it doesn't have a clue what time it is.
I've read that you should run ntpd -g -q on the Pi, having
first stopped its daemon/service (according to how you're
running it, sysvinit/systemd). This allows a time jump from
4004 BC or whatever it boots up at. Then restart the
daemon/service.
Cheers,
David.
