[TYPO3-english] problem with External Data Import ext

[Nicola Cerchiari]

Yeah, glad too but i found a (in my case) minor problem in the storing of a
field and I don't really know if it even depends on the extension itself.

I'm importing a formatted date & time that I convert back to a timestamp
before storing it into the destination table. With much surprise when it's
stored it gets wrong.
In details: I could check that everything is fine till the TCEmain debug
step is complete but the final timestamp written in the db is an hour
backward.
For example:
I get this date -> 10-03-2011 13:47:37 transformed like this -> 1299761257
but in the database I get this -> 1299757657

Very strange to me, no?!
