It works fine for me too here. 

One thing that I see, from the orig post: 

>[root@mithrandir acpi]# echo 2005-12-15 17:18:19 > alarm
>[root@mithrandir acpi]# cat alarm 
2005-12-00 17:18:19

Don't you need to ' that string since there is a space?
ie: 

echo '2005-12-15 17:18:19' > alarm

in order to get the year/month/date in correctly?

Shaohua> Thanks, Shaohua
