Sense your times are off by 8 hours and we happen to be 8 hours ahead
of UTC at this time that would seem to confirm it. On my redhatish
system there is a file called /etc/localtime which is exactly the same
as /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles the file commant revials
that the file is of type timezone data my guess is that you need to
change your /etc/localtime file to the correct one for PST.
