I've had very similar things happen. The machine I just put FC1 on
was 2 hours off. What I did was set the bios clock time and date
to UTC, the timezone to Alaska, and set the timeserver in
/etc/ntp.conf to utcnist.colorado.edu, which is the National
Institute of Standards in Boulder. After a reboot and a few hours
for the clock to sync on the timeserver,it came up spot on.
