It's all right. From 'man strftime':
-----
%G is replaced by a year as a decimal number with century. This year
is the one that contains the greater part of the week (Monday as
the first day of the week).
%g is replaced by the same year as in ``%G'', but as a decimal number
without century (00-99).
-----
You should use %Y to obtain 2000.
