We run atd on the ASU image on purpose. It allows to schedule any kind of 
alarms and will program the RTC for wakeup automatically. If you want atd to 
write the current time into the rtc then you have to write "W\n" 
into /var/spool/at/trigger.

But on the other hand we provide a GUI application to set the Timezone and the 
Time and they work.... :)
