One of the gurus advised me with similar issues (959 with dead m/b battery) to always do the following sequence:
setclock ;cancel
setclock timezone=XXXX
setclock date=xxx;time=xxx;now
and this has always given me correct GMT and local times

Because, as someone else suggested, my hardware clock is off. How
does one reset the hardware clock without rebooting?
I have tried 'setclock date=7/15/2011;time=hh:mm:ss;now' but that
does not change the GMT setting as shown when I subsequently run
showclks.pubxl.telesup.
