 Another thing to check:

 Have a look at /etc/localtime

 my file is a symlink to my time zone.

 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Montreal

 You can see this by typing ls -l /etc/localtime

 Make sure that this is pointing to your correct timezone. You can change
it this way (which would set it to parisian time):

 rm /etc/locatime
 ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris localtime

 To see which timzones are available, try this:

 ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/

 and /usr/share/zoneinfo/<insert your area here>/

Cheers,

Chris
