This is what the op said
"Once again, for those of you who don't read, my time is set to Pacirfic
Time
(U.S. & Canada), and the automatic advance for daylight time is set. When I
ran the API call that queries the time information the system said that I
was
at GMT -7 hours, which is correct."

That is wrong, GMT-8 is Pacific Time (US & Canada) as it shows in the
window. GMT-7 Pacific Time (US & Canada) is not even an option in the list.
Now get lost loser.
