Then check your (text file called) /etc/timezone file (and--though it 
should not be used on a *buntu system, /etc/sysconfig/clock file).  If 
you don't have an /etc/timezone file or an /etc/sysconfig/clock file, 
Myth should be identifying the time zone based on /etc/localtime.

What instructions did you follow for changing your time zone settings on 
your system?
