Can you check the output from the following command?

Q> echo "<$TZ>"

If that shows other than <> as output, you have a local environment
variable that's set to say that you're in the CST timezone, in which
case you will only see CST times irrespective of what's going on
elsewhere.

If so, type the following command, then redo your checks...

Q> unset TZ

If that fixes it, you'll need to find out which configuration file
sets it and get rid of it...

Best wishes from Riley.
