First of all, I *have* read Carlos Ronbinson's howto numerous times.
I cannot get my system clock and the KDE clock in the corner of the screen to show the same time. I've tried more combinations of things than I can recall. They always show a 12 hour difference. For example:
rm /etc/adjtime date --set=07:30 *hwclock --systohc
sets the system clock to 7:30 local time, but the KDE clock immediately jumps 12 hours ahead. BTW, the KDE display is also set to local time. My email goes out at the proper time in this mode.
The fact that it's 12 hours exactly seems to indicate that it's a am/pm problem. I'm pretty sure that date expects a 24h time, so 7:30 is am, and 7.30pm is given as 19:30 Could this be the problem? By the way, the easiest way to set the correct time is to use ntp.
