Wrong time in ARCserve

I first started noticing that my backups were starting an hour later each time they ran. When in the web based console, I observe the time in the java based window is an hour earlier than the operating system time. Actually, it is about 56 minutes different, not exactly one hour off. Very strange.

Each night my backup job is set to run at 2am. The next day when I check the job log, the job starts at 3am and completes successfully. It then "reschedules" it for 3am the next night. Once again that starts an hour later and the cycle goes on and on.

I originally thought it may have something to do with the OS daylight savings time changes, but because it isn't off by exactly one hour that doesn't seem like it is the problem.

Anyone have any ideas?
 
Sorry, forgot to mention the details:

Brighstor Arcserve Backup r11.1 for linux w/service pack 1
RedHat Enterprise Linux AS version 3
 
It does sound like it might be a time zone problem.
What is the time zone the machine is set to?

ARCserve does its own internal time, so it needs to know the time zone to display the time correctly.
