think it is a bug.
with the latest ee 1.6.2 Build: 20080225 i run in the same problems with my feed. my bog, marsedit, ecto shown the same time. the rss 2 feed is 1 hour back.
but the atom feed shows the correct time. only the rss feed is out of control.
long time ago, i wrote about the problem here: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/49663/P72/

misi, we made no localization changes across those versions where you say it stopped working, started working, and stopped again. As the other thread is 5 pages deep and old, we’ll keep your issue here in a new thread, but I’m moving it from from the bug forum to the support forum.
#3 / Feb 29, 2008 10:38am
misu, please post a link to both the RSS and Atom feeds so we can see it.
#4 / Feb 29, 2008 10:41am
@ derek: it is a old problem with the rss 2.0 feed and 1 hour behind..
but yesterday i saw, that the atom feed is working like a charm. but why is the rss feed not ok?
for me it looks like dst is not working for the rss feed. the feed is ever in the summertime
#5 / Feb 29, 2008 10:47am
misu, I saw your link to the post. In it you state that moving to one version made it start working, then moving to another made it stop, etc. That behavior is not indicative of a bug, or it would impact more than one user.
We will do what we can to solve the riddle, misu.

On your entry titled ‘ein altes problem mit rss’:
Atom: {gmt_entry_date format="%Y-%m-%dT%H:%i:%sZ"} renders 2008-02-28T22:43:00Z
RSS: {gmt_entry_date format="%Y-%m-%dT%H:%i:%s%Q"} renders 2008-02-28T22:43:00+01:00
Does this match what you see, misu?
#7 / Feb 29, 2008 10:59am
yes, but only the atom feed shows the 23:43. the rss shows 22:43 and lost the + 1 hour.
you can see it in google reader or bloglines too. atom=correct, rss -1 hour
#8 / Feb 29, 2008 11:15am
I’m going to do some research on the <dc:date> element, both what the specification is for using an offset with it, as well as how feed readers implement it in actual practice. In the meantime, my recommendation for you is to use the Atom’s date variables in your RSS template, replacing the “%Q” with “Z”. That indicates that the timestamp is a GMT value, and conveys no offset information in with the data, leaving it up to the user agent to determine what offset to apply.
#9 / Feb 29, 2008 11:53am
no changings with the Z. feed is 1 hour behind the blog and
Sorry
This feed does not validate.

Clear your caches and you may have to remove the feed from your reader to get it to change. But I do not think you made the change correctly, as your timestamps are: 2008-02-29T10:25:003600. This is the variable you should have to use my above fix.
{gmt_entry_date format="%Y-%m-%dT%H:%i:%sZ"}Note that there is no % in front of the Z.

Here’s an alternate template you can use that should validate. Make sure you adjust the variables at the top of the template.
{assign_variable:master_weblog_name="default_site"}
{assign_variable:template_group="site"}
{assign_variable:template_name="rss_2.0"}
{exp:rss:feed weblog="{master_weblog_name}"}

<dc:creator>{author}</dc:creator>
then the feed is not vailde. any ideas why?

You’d need to add the dublin core namespace to the your RSS declaration to utilize that tag.
<rss version="2.0"
