That doesn't help, because saying 2:05am local time in the config file is
still ambiguous if the local time moves backwards by 1 hour at 3:00am.  To
resolve this, Bacula would have to use UTC in the config file as well.
Alternatively, it would need some non-trivial code to deal with the
duplicate/missing local times.
