This is almost always due to time zone issues.
Make the sure timezone on your server is set correctly (check the output
of the "date" command for starters), and that you have set the timezone
correctly in the relevant php.ini file.
There's a page on my site about this problem at http://zend.to/timezone.php
Cheers,
Jules.
