EFS 1.6 bug: Weird timezone!

Fellow efs'ers:

We sometimes get a ``weird timezone'' message, and the file copy shown below is
an example of such.  If within a multiple copy then the remainder of the copies
do not proceed, but this may be tied up with the multiple copy failure that I
have recently reported.
