What's the output of this?

  $ cmp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /etc/localtime 

I'd guess you have somehow messed up your time zone information.  The
changes worked fine on all my machines.  By sheer coincidence, I did
this on my FreeBSD machine this morning, a little over an hour apart:

=== grog@freebie (/dev/ttypb) ~ 241 -> TZ=Europe/Berlin date
Sun 25 Oct 1998 02:10:07 CEST
=== grog@freebie (/dev/ttypb) ~ 242 -> TZ=Europe/Berlin date
Sun 25 Oct 1998 02:17:49 CET
