Hi, I haven't fully read all your messages yet, but it may help if I
quickly say that you can use rdiff_backup's time functions pretty
easily.  For example:

laptop:~ $ python
Python 2.2.3 (#1, Oct 15 2003, 23:33:35) 
[GCC 3.3.1 20030930 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.1-6)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import time
>>> import rdiff_backup.Time as t
>>> t.timetostring(time.time())
'2004-02-01T12:07:30-07:00'
>>> t.stringtotime('2004-02-01T12:07:30-07:00')
1075666050L
>>> t.stringtotime(t.timetostring(1075666050L))
1075666050L

Z is for UTC.
