I have found that it's kinda flaky updating those TZ settings. A couple of ones 
that have worked for me:

Grid Control Agent Startup Fails if ORA_TZFILE Environment Variable is Set to 
Incorrect Timezone File [ID 409121.1]

Grid Control Agent Startup Fails on AIX Server due to Invalid Timezone Setting 
at the OS [ID 825933.1] (It says AIX but we had to do this on linux machines as 
well)

Might be worth looking into if you have looked at those notes yet.

Subject: Problem getting OEM agent to start after fresh install

Hi Everyone,

First happy Thanksgiving to all who will celebrate it!

Now, to my issue:
I have installed the Grid Control agent 10.2.0.4 on an OEL 5.5 server running 
an 11.1.0.7 database.  This is a vmware vm.

When I run emctl start agent, I get the following:
./emctl start agent
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release 4 Grid Control 10.2.0.4.0.
Copyright (c) 1996, 2007 Oracle Corporation.  All rights reserved.
Starting agent ...... failed.
The agentTZRegion value in 
/u01/db/tech_st/agent10g/sysman/config/emd.properties is not in agreement with 
what agent thinks it should be.Please verify your environment to make sure that 
TZ setting has not changed since the last start of the agent.
If you modified the timezone setting in the environment, please stop the agent 
and exectute 'emctl resetTZ agent' and also execute the script 
mgmt_target.set_agent_tzrgn(<agent_name>, <new_tz_rgn>) to get the value 
propagated to repository.
Consult the log files in: /u01/db/tech_st/agent10g/sysman/log

And when I run the suggested emctl resetTZ I get
 export TZ=US/Central
[dev2ora@hou-orastg01 bin]$ ./emctl resetTZ agent
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release 4 Grid Control 10.2.0.4.0.
Copyright (c) 1996, 2007 Oracle Corporation.  All rights reserved.
Updating /u01/db/tech_st/agent10g/sysman/config/emd.properties...
----- Tue Nov 23 11:32:44 2010::tzOffset for US/Central is 0(min), but agent is 
runnning with tzOffset -360(min)

----- Tue Nov 23 11:32:44 2010::trying again after waiting for 1 sec to account 
for daylight transition

resetTZ failed.
The agentTZRegion in:
/u01/db/tech_st/agent10g/sysman/config/emd.properties
is not in agreement with what the agent thinks it should be.
Fix your environment.
Pick a TZ value that corresponds to time zone settings listed in:
/u01/db/tech_st/agent10g/sysman/admin/supportedtzs.lst
US/Central is in supportedtzs.lst.  I have researched MOS with no luck.  I do 
get some matches on the errors but the processes suggested basically come back 
to
the procedure I'm using here.  I have filed an SR and these are the steps they 
gave me.

I'm not experienced with OEM but I have done the agent install on two other 
boxes with the same configuration as this one without problems.

Pointers or suggestions, please?

Allan
