The problem is that a DateTime object converts its value to GMT before
passing it to time.strftime.  Thus, all format string output including
<dtml-var ZopeTime fmt="%m/%d/%Y"> are based on GMT.  I will check why this
is so, but in the meantime you can replace strftime in DateTime.DateTime
with:

    def strftime(self, format):
        return strftime(format, (self._year, self._month, self._day,
self._hour, self._minute, self._nearsec, 0, 0, 0))
