I runned the shell command date and date -u on both systems (both showing 
correct info).

And than I figured out how to print current time in python, with:
import time;
t = time.time()
print t
s = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S", time.localtime(t))
print s
print "if", time.daylight, "then offset=", -1 * time.altzone/60, "and 
prefix=+"
print "else offset=", -1 * time.timezone/60, "and prefix=-"
print "if offset==0 then Z"

And on localhost (with Python 2.3.3 (#2, Jan 13 2004, 00:47:05)) I get:
1075664619.98
2004-02-01T20:43:39
if 1 then offset= 120 and prefix=+
else offset= 60 and prefix=-
if offset==0 then Z

And on remotehost (with Python 2.3 (#1, Sep 21 2003, 22:48:56)):
1075664641.98
2004-02-01T20:44:01
if 1 then offset= 120 and prefix=+
else offset= 60 and prefix=-
if offset==0 then Z

As I can see both informations are the same (same offset and prefix), but 
the interesting thing is, that my increments have the character "Z" written. 
I have no idea why.
