[uae] Date/time conversion sometimes right, sometimes wrong

Hello,
Some time ago, I told that I still have date/time conversion problems
between Amiga native filesystem and the UAE virtual filesystem which
stores files on a filesystem of the host operating system for UAE.
Now I tested with E-UAE 0.8.27 RC 2 again and first it looked okay, but
then I found oddities.
This is the timezone, I am (not long anymore, we are switching from summer
time to winter time this night which gives me an additional hour):

1) Compare this Amiga directory listing from a directory on a CD-R
created via MakeCD:

(Note: I altered some filenames for privacy.)
All three directory listing should show the exact same dates and times for
each file. But from what I see this is only true for listing 2 and 3.
Listing 1 from the Amiga CD-R which is accessed within UAE via CacheCDFS
differs from Listing 2 and 3 which show the contents of the copy located
on the host filesystem (XFS under Linux).
The crazy thing is this:
Sometimes UAE gets the time right (for example with Apache.log or
Team.txt) and often it doesn't get it right in the copy (for example with
Grusskarte.zip or Ideen.txt or most, if not all directories where there is
one hour difference).
So still there is something strange going on in the date code of UAE.
Seems that the fix, you, Richard, applied for the timezone handling
between Amiga native filesystems and the virtual filesystem that stores
files on the host filesystem, doesn't step in in all situations.
Any idea?
