Sigh-- you're right, you should have mentioned this before.

One should not attempt to change the clock from within a virtual  
machine at all, only in the parent or host OS.  VMs depend on the  
host OS to provide the timekeeping, and it is known that systems  
running inside a VM may experience timing glitches as a result of  
running inside the machine emulation.
