Sharepoint & Melbourne Daylight Savings

I'm currently experiencing an issue where the Sharepoint timer service is kicking off an hour early. My network infrastructure people have assured me that they've installed all the service patches for all the servers.

A colleague found this MS KB Article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888253

And it seemed to be the solution. But when I checked my TIMEZONE.XML file the Daylight saving date appears to be correct:

<DaylightTime>
<Bias>-60</Bias>
<Date>
<Month>10</Month>
<Day>5</Day>
<Hour>2</Hour>
</Date>
</DaylightTime>

That is the correct date and time for Melbourne (this year) as per this page.

FYI I'm on the MOSS and upto version 12.0.0.6318 (Infrastructure update).

Chris Armstrong has also blogged about this yesterday (darn beat me by one day) but the daylight saving start date he uses don't appear to be correct. I'll make another post once I have a solution.
