Rails - Jul 2006 - Weird problem with TimeZone::adjust and TimeZone::unadjust. Please help.

I''m not sure I''m understanding this correctly. I have a user
model
that is for all of my user accounts. Each user account has a time  
zone. I added this line to automatically create a TimeZone object for  
that user using their timezone:

composed_of :tz, :class_name => ''TimeZone'', :mapping =>
%w(time_zone
name)

I also changed my environment.rb to add the following:

ENV[''TZ''] = ''UTC''

Then when I go into the console I get bad results:

 >> drew = User.find 1
=> #<User:0x2a96b01cf8
@attributes={"time_zone"=>"Central Time (US &
Canada)"}>
 >> Time.now
=> Mon Jul 17 15:56:54 UTC 2006
 >> ''I am in central time and the current time is 12:04
pm''
=> "I am in central time and the current time is 12:04 pm"
 >> drew.tz.adjust(Time.now)
=> Mon Jul 17 09:57:40 UTC 2006
 >> drew.tz.unadjust(Time.now)
=> Mon Jul 17 21:57:55 UTC 2006

None of the above say 12:04pm,, which was the time when I ran this  
script. I am in central time and the time_zone for this user is  
central time as well.

What am I doing wrong here? Thanks a lot for your help.


Thank You,
