Hi,

first (but I don't think that is the problem) you can drop 
"@ORM\Column(type="datetime")" as this is determined by the @var 
annotation normally.

Now how do you create your User object? Lets say you have your action 
and you simply do:

$newUser = new \I\Dont\Know\The\NameSpace\User();
$userRepository->add($newUser);

Then registrationdate should be set correctly (you should add a getter 
for it), and it should also be persisted like that.

More info would be good to look into it, probably just a minor thing. In 
fact the FLOW security Account model does just the same thing...

Cheers,
Christian
