I had problems like this once.  It was a long time ago but I think it
was related to localtime vs UTC.  Doesn't ACPI use UTC (which is
esentially the same as GMT)?  Anyway I remember I modified the
shutdown script to log the wakeup time that it was setting and with
that information I was able to work out what was going on.

Is it conceivable that it's waking up two hours early for a *later*
recording, and coincidentally getting the correct time for the current
one?
