FWIW I have these settings :

MythShutdownNvramCmd | sudo /usr/bin/mythsettime
SetWakeuptimeCommand | sudo /usr/bin/mythshutdown --setwakeup $time
WakeupTimeFormat      | yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm

and the script :

mythtv at stella ~ $ cat /usr/bin/mythsettime
# $1 is the redundant --settime switch

# Set the hardware clock to system time here, cause it knackers the alarm
# functionality.
hwclock --systohc

# Write the time to myth.time (why - I dunno)
sudo date -d "1970-01-01 $2 sec" +"%F %H:%M:%S" -u > /home/mythtv/myth.time

# Now convert that to UTC time (cause I want UTC on the mobo and BST/GMT 
locally)
sudo date -d "1970-01-01 $2 sec" +"%F %H:%M:%S" -u > /proc/acpi/alarm


The script may well be overkill - I was trying to handle the hardware clock 
not changing underneath british summer/winter time - YMMV.

HTH, Bry.
