As already pointed out, the hardware clock is used in very limited ways and is not the same thing as the system clock, so your result is as expected. What are you actually trying to do? What "time zone issues" do you refer to? It is very rare to need to modify the hardware clock. Typically it's only done at shutdown time by the base OS to save the system clock to the hardware clock ready for next boot, as the system clock is assumed to be more accurate.
