I've been checking into this, to see if it is the issue. Seems like it is. I
dumped my working copy, and am checking out a new one (after getting the
times closer together... they were like 5 minutes apart!).
Might be worth a comment on the install guide, or somewhere? I'd say
something along the lines of, "Reminder: Be sure that the clocks are
reasonably in sync, or you will get 'bogus date' errors on the client."
Currently, I'm preparing to install dimension4 on the windows boxen, and ntp
on the server.
