PC-NFS and daylight savings time

Software: PC-NFS Version 3.0 
Systems:  IBM-AT running MS-DOS 3.20
	  Sun 3/280 running SunOS 4.0.1

If you create a file on the server, then do a 'dir' of the file from the
PC, the time shown is one hour earlier than it should be.  This has only
been a problem since daylight savings time went into effect.

Example:
{1} ls -l mbox
-rw-------  1 kevin       60282 Apr 10 14:51 mbox


F:\SOL\U3\KEVIN> dir mbox

 Volume in drive F is sol        
 Directory of  F:\SOL\U3\KEVIN

MBOX            60282   4-10-89   1:51p
	1 File(s)   8880128 bytes free

In my autoexec.bat, I have the command 'SET TZ=PST8PDT'.

I reported this to sun, but I thought other people might want to be warned
about the problem.
