Ok, so basically every app running on this would need to (if based on time) set it's own TZ either through a variable to however the player software is doing it? So in the case of checking the creation times of the directories created in telnet, the telnet daemon would need to set it's own TZ or in the bash shell(is that the shell we're using?)?

EDIT: or better yet, as someonle else mentioned previously, everying is a child off of "init". Should we be setting the TZ variable in there, that way everything (that can/will use it) is using the same TZ?
