Are you cleaning out /tmp and/or /var/tmp? Check your config in /etc/sysconfig/cron. I don't know if this would cause such behaviour, but it might.
2. It has also been askewing the time i receive a few mails. For example yesterday about 4pm local I received a couple of mails, this morning when I start up the date time stamp on them is showing 9pm ?? I am using Evolution as my mail client.
Set the BIOS on UTC, configure your system to reflect that, and start using xntp, or at the very least, get the time from 3 or 4 NTP servers at bootup.
