Something seems to be broken here.  On my system I have to use
"adjust_time: -1" to get correct time in MOL.  The hwclock is running in
UTC and I've configured OS X to use the Germany timezone.  When running
natively I get the correct time in OS X.  Note that Germany is currently 2
hours ahead of UTC, so it seems the offset is ignoring DST.
