On the Epoch:

May not help in this case, but might be worth noting for future use...

Not only can you get an AppleScript date for the epoch using

set theEpoch to (date (do shell script "date -r 0 \"+%a %b %e %Y
%H:%M:%S\""))

But you can set it according to different time zones:

set theEpoch to (date (do shell script "env TZ=US/Pacific date -r 0
\"+%a %b %e %Y %H:%M:%S\""))

You can find a collection of pre-rolled zones in the /usr/share/zoneinfo/
directory.
