To summarise, you have a time_zone string column in the database, but
you say that it is not getting saved to the database.  First have a
look in the application log to see whether the zone is getting passed
when you click on the submit link for the form.  If that looks ok then
use ruby-debug to break into the create or update method to see
whether params is setup ok and whether the User.  See the Rails Guide
on debugging if you do not know how to do this.
