Problem Description:
Attempting to create or update a scheduled task on the day of Daylight Saving Time (in this case March 10, 2013) during 2:00 am - 2:59 throws an error. I realize because of the time change, the 2:00 am hour doesn't technically exist, but ColdFusion administrator does appear to allow you to add a task with similar attributes.

Steps to Reproduce:
<cfschedule action="update"
	task="test" operation="httprequest"
	startdate="#now()#" starttime="2:00 AM" interval="daily" requesttimeout="1200"
	url="http://localhost/tools/test2.cfm" />

The above code is part of my application reload script which happened to run earlier this morning.

Actual Result:
Error: Start date Mar 10, 2013 2:00 AM is invalid. 
Invalid start date/time. 

Full stack trace is attached.

Expected Result:
The scheduled task would be updated.

Any Workarounds:
Changed startdate to a different date.

Comments:

If the specified time is not a valid time, of course it would throw the error. There is nothing to be fixed here.
