Problem with date after date is modified in scripts

Hi
I have a test harness, on WIndows 2k3, which has 3 sh scripts (the terminal
is using tcsh)
runtests
calls startup.sh
run.sh
shutdown.sh
1. In startup.sh, I have to change the date to 235830 of the current day-
so I call
date $mm${dd}2358.30
This works fine
2. After the test is run using run.sh
3. In shutdown.sh, I set the machine clock back to "normal" by syncing
with a different server, using
net time "\\TMSERVER" /set /yes
Here is the issue:
The windows clock shows the correct time but when I run date in
any shell (newly created or existing)
the date is being returned as though step 3 did not ever happen.
At this point of time, the machine time is 2010-11-13 02:01:00 but
date in a tcsh/bash is reporting it as
Sun Nov 14 03:37:43 PST 2010
WOuld appreciate some help in understanding and more importantly resolving
this issue.
Thanks.
