[Box Backup] backup timing issues, native windows client boxwin0.09h.exe on WinXP Home

[E.W. Peter Jalajas]

Even with my bbackupd.conf settings at the very short intervals of the
test bbackupd.conf settings (well below 1 minute; snipped screen
scrapes below, edited for clarity), my new files are not being backed
up until exactly 5 hours and 3 seconds later. 

This may relate to the bbackupquery timestamp/timezone problem
mentioned in my other recent thread:
[Box Backup] bbackupquery.exe issues, native windows client
boxwin0.09h.exe

I have no idea really, but I think bb may be using timezone adjustments
inconsistently, either internally to one end (windows client or linux
server), or during communications between the windows client and the
linux server, but I'm too lazy to figure out how to figure it all out. 

Any ideas on how I can resolve this problem and get my backups stored
timely?

Thanks,
Pete

I think I'm set to EST (GMT-5):
Under cygwin:
$ date
Sat Jan 14 09:33:04 EST 2006
Under cmd:
C:\PROGRA~1\BOXBAC~1>date /T
Sat 01/14/2006
C:\PROGRA~1\BOXBAC~1>time /T
