You should read up on how glibc handles all that timezone stuff:

   sh# info libc "TZ Variable"

Most notably, make sure you /etc/localtime is set up correctly. There 
is also a tool (script) called tzselect which may be helpful for you.

Note I'm not exactly an expert on this, I'm just giving pointers...
