Thanks Nancy, but I'd like to clarify a couple things:
1) You can't just add PST8PDT only - there are actually 9 new timezones
you need to add (see clip from my original post below - I know my
subject was misleading so I've updated it)
2) My understanding (based on what Oracle Support told me) is that there
is an additional problem with these new timezones beyond that of the
other timezones. Data using these new timezones must be backed up and
restored regardless of the timeframe.
Regards,
Brandon

I attended the DST patch webcast and asked about this - you can just add
the PST8PDT to the CSV file .
