This could be by design. I will defer to Mugoo's sysadmin and webmaster (http://www.mugoo.com/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=2): (http://www.mugoo.com/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=40;type=avatar)
This is a long-standing SMF bug and a real PITA for me. I used to cure it by changing an offset in the settings, but when I tried to do that today, I could not find the offset. A quick Google search revealed the real problem at:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=297840.0
Apparently, older versions of SMF set a variable called "default_timezone" which was unable to handle DST, but was included to compensate for a problem in PHP. That variable no longer gets set (but still gets used!!) because PHP has been corrected. All I had to do was find the settings table in mySQL and knock out the variable. The time was immediately corrected.

Hey! Cliff Stoll's waning astronomy career got supplanted by a successful literary one, when he fixated on two computing-charge reports whose totals should have been the same but instead differed by 75-cents. <gr>
