Your hardware clock is supposed to be at UTC?
Check with 'grep CLOCK= /etc/conf.d/clock'.

Your time zone is correctly set?
Check with 'ls -l /etc/localtime'.

If those are okay, do:

  rm /etc/adjtime
  hwclock --set --utc --date="2005-11-18 21:34"   # example time
  hwclock --hctosys

If your hardware clock must be at local time, then replace --utc 
with --localtime.
