Yes, well... That is an interractive session, which has probably
loaded some additional environmental setup files, so doesn't say much
(TZ is probably set in a central profile, bashrc or similar file). If
you look at your cron jobs etc, they likely have a somewhat "skewed"
view of what timezone you're in too.
You obviously have a correct setting for it in the interractive shell,
so you might want to look at that (echo $TZ).
BTW, (thanks Phil for the correction:) did you try running system-config-date?

Cheers
