So 'date' returns 'Thu Okt 30 11:57:02 CET 2003'?
And the time is not off by 1 hour?

The xml file looks like this:

  <channel id="003.tv.tv2.dk">
    <display-name>DR 1</display-name>
  </channel>
  <programme start="20031030130000 +0100" stop="20031030140500 +0100"
    <title lang="dk">Regionalprogrammer</title>

So if the start/stop times and timezone in the xml file are actually 
correct and your localtime is also, you shouldn't see this hour shift
wether the TimeOffset setting is set to None or Auto.

Not very helpful, but could it be that your program table still contains the
wrong data due to the switch to winter time? mythfilldatabase might not
update program entries which are already in the program table, depending
on how you call it.

To be sure you could empty the program and programrating tables and run
mythfilldatabase again.
