So what happens when you run this command to confirm the fix?

zdump -v CST6CDT | grep 2007


According this link at IBMs support docs you should see something like..
On a system with the adjustments you will see:
CST6CDT Sun Mar 11 07:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 CST
isdst=0 gmtoff=-21600
CST6CDT Sun Mar 11 08:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 CST
isdst=0 gmtoff=-18600
CST6CDT Sun Nov 4 06:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:59:59 2007 CST
isdst=0 gmtoff=-18600
CST6CDT Sun Nov 4 07:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2007 CST
isdst=0 gmtoff=-21600

Here is the IBM link. Sorry its not tiny'd
