That will certainly not work - TimeZone needs to be set to a string that
your system will recognize as a specific time zone.  (Unfortunately, a
bogus setting gets treated as "UTC" on most platforms, which in fact is
what you're seeing.)

I dunno what the standard BSD names are for the Aussie timezones; can
anyone help?  On HPUX you'd use something like 'EST-10EDT' but I'm not
sure about BSD...
