ok, so it still sounds like maybe one machine has the BIOS clock set to local time and the other set to Universal.  Both boxes still have local time available in Linux but one of them is correcting the system clock and the other does not need to.  I only mentioned dual booting windows because that is the most common way the BIOS clock stays as local time.  Anyway, I still suggest that COULD be the BASIS for your problem.  It even be that the two kinds of reports use a different system call to get the time resulting in the apparent difference.

Good thought!  However, both systems were built the same, and have the
same error messages depending on who is rsync'ing to whom.

More details:
These two servers are in a failover, high-availability cluster, and I
use rsync to keep the file systems in sync.  rsync syncs from the active
node to the passive node.  (I would have preferred GFS or SAN, but that
was outside of the budget.)


So - whether it's server1 sync'ing to server2, or the other way around,
the log entries look the same.
