I see it might be a different issue. But with POSIX and ISO-like system preferences on my setup I typically get this type of error:
set dstr to "1/1/2010"
date dstr
--> Invalid date and time date 1/1/2010 of «script»
and didn't get the granularity. I thought it was because of the coordination of CFDate/NSDate -> AppleScript date (which was a real problem for me with 10/4/10.5 software because of the conversion functions disappearing in 64-bit). But maybe I dislike localized dates so much I wanted to turn the problem into something I could hit with my hammer.
