[rrd-users] Weekly collection problems

First I want to apologize if this is a stupid question, but I have read
through the rrdtool docs and I'm no sure I understand how the times in
the database work.  I am using rrdtool to collect in and out octets on
my router every 5 minutes for 36 days to measure bandwidth. This part is
working fine.  I then use a perl script to get my 95th percentile
numbers from the database which I currently pull weekly.  I would like
to store these numbers in another database for future manipulation.  I
run this script with cron every Tuesday at noon. The problem is that the
date\timestamp is coming up incorrect.  It shows the correct day, but
the time is  18:00:00 not noon, so when the script runs the 95th
percentile numbers are being stored in the previous weeks place.  I'm
using 604800 as my step.  

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
