Randy,

You may want to see how the date format parameter is defined for your
client.  Maybe the default was overridden.   There are 4 different date
types.   You can try -date=1 -todate=09/28/1997  to force it to use this
dateformat, but  you must locate the -date parameter before the -todate
.  Worth a try.
