Is it possible that you are converting timestamps into something 
readable on a system where the timezone is set differently than you 
expect? One hour off seems suspicious to me as though it might be a 
timezone issue (although the unix epoch timestamp doesn't have a 
timezone built into it so the application of timezone only happens when 
you do the conversion for viewing).
