With Leopard this used to give me a result of 9/9/09. In Snow Leopard it gives me the error; Can't get short date string of "9/9".
Looks like "short date string" was a part of standard additions in the past.
What replaced it.
The problem isn't with "short date string", but that "9/9" isn't a valid input for a date.

You have to provide month, day, and year, in one of the formats specified in the Language & Text System Preferences.
