along with the timezone I assume?... (ie. could say 9pm when it's 9pm, 
but the timezone could still be set incorrectly).

I had the same problem when I was running an older version of the 
ChannelArchiver built against epics 3.13.4. Had to manually account for 
that before doing any queries - thought this was a feature. Updated to 
ChannelArchiver 1.10.2, built it against epics 3.13.10, and the problem 
disappeared.

You should also make sure that the file base/src/libCom/tsSubr.c has the 
DST values properly defined for your timezone. Unless you live in Hawaii 
(EPICS_TS_MIN_WEST=600) where DST is disabled by default you may see 
weird 1h/2h offsets  if this is not done correctly.

Cheers,
