Mint does not use the TZ environment variable, nor does mintlib. It only uses 
information from the timezone database. But Thing does not use mintlib, and 
the simple implementaton in Pure-C's libraries only uses a single timezone 
offset, which is can be initialized using the TZ variable. But remember that 
this is an ancient way of such handling. The TZ environment variable is only 
valid for the current local time, it does not work for arbitrary file system 
dates.

That seems to be another issue then. rsync should use mintlib.
