Problem Description:
createdatetime doesn't take a time zone. so to create a UTC date time object you need to:
DateConvert( "UTC2local", createDateTime( year, month, day, hour, minute, second ) );
all well and good until you hit daylight savings time and your UTC date values that you are passing to createDateTime are actually for a time that can't possibly exists, such as 2:30am on the day of changeover when clocks go forward from 2am -> 3am. Also, while 'valid' the conversion to UTC time for 2:30am will have 2 possible answers on the reverse clocks backward changover. aka, 2:30am = 2:30am and after the changover, 3:30am = 2:30am due to the createDateTime in local timezone.
