Linux thinks your hardware clock is set to GMT. In /etc/rc.config,
change this:
GMT="-u"
to this:
GMT=""

My advice, however, would be to keep your system clock using GMT,
assuming Linux is currently set at the correct (local) time, and your
time zone is set correctly, then use the following command (as root) to
set your hardware clock to GMT:
hwclock --utc --systohc

Hope that helps,
        Chris
