Well, 'date' yields 'Mon May  2 21:44:09 CDT 2005' -- but the more simplistic version of the code yielded the very same problem of it being an hour ahead.  I imagine it may be something individual to my system.  Are there any other Mac OS X users on this list experiencing the same problem?

Perhaps I can attack this from a different angle.  The sole inaccuracy is the hour's difference.  Can I manually subtract one hour from the result, code I could later eliminate when we go back on 'normal' time?
