What time zone are you in?
If you were in PST, then I would expect to see 8 hours difference.

CVS works in UTC internally (including it's CVS/ directory control files).

Assuming a Unix host try the following:
compare the output of
TZ=UTC  ls -ltrh
to the data in the CVS/Entries file.

Hope this helps
