That's correct. 00:01 = 12:01 AM

PM and AM are there for your convenience. In 24-hour time, 12:00 to 12:59 is
always PM, and always shall be PM, so that's correct. Since SetFile allows
you to use AM and PM to make 1:01 mean the same thing as 13:01, that's a
bug, not a feature, and I'll probably be reporting it as such. However, at
least when you use 13:01, even with AM, that's read as PM, as is correct.
Mixing 12 and 24 hour time at the CLI level is a bad thing, especially
since, with 24-hour time, there's no ambiguity allowed.
