The DST (what an idiotic idea) is probably your problem.0555 CDT is an 
hour earlier than 0555 CST, so you can sync from CST to CDT, change it on 
the CDT system, and it looks older than it was before the change, if your 
timezones aren't correctly implemented (keep time in GMT, display it in 
local).  Check the output of 'date -u' on both machine.  If you don't have 
a unix date command, use 'perl -e print time' on both ends.  That will 
give you epoch time - seconds since midnight, January 1, 1970.  If you're 
5 minutes of, the difference between those two systems should be 600.  If 
the difference is closer to 3600, you've got an hour offset.
