I found that setting my system clock (and the bios) to UTC  solved the
problem for me.  Leaving it set to localtime always gave me problems
with mythfilldatabase.  I used

hwclock --utc --set --date="9/22/96 16:45:05"

Obviously you should use the current date/time in that command (I
copied that straight from the man page).  Also, according to the man
page, the date/time argument has to be in local time.
