I get this too.  There is about an 8-hour time difference between OSX and
Linux on my tibook.  (If I fix it in one it breaks in the other.)  
Setting the system clock to store GMT (or not) doesn't change anything.  
It's driving me nuts.  I think I'll just give up and tell Linux that I'm
living 8 hours west of where I really am.  (Hmm, maybe Apple decided that
the international date line really passes through Cupertino rather than
Greenwich?)
