I am trying to format a timestamp from an api. It is sent in the
 format "2011-03-24T20:30:47Z"

what I want to output is something like this
(strftime "%d %b %g " (localtime (current-time)) )

However I am unable to work out how to do this, have tried using
 string->date with results below

Enter `,help' for help.
scheme@(guile-user)> (define date "2011-03-24T20:30:47Z")
scheme@(guile-user)> (use-modules (srfi srfi-19))
scheme@(guile-user)> (string->date "~Y-m-dT~H:~M:SZ" date)
srfi/srfi-19.scm:1415:18: In procedure priv:string->date:
srfi/srfi-19.scm:1415:18: In procedure string->date: TIME-ERROR type 
bad-date-format-string: "2011-03-24T20:30:47Z"

Entering a new prompt. Type `,bt' for a backtrace or `,q' to continue.
