What is it you are missing? On CentOS 3.x boxes I have:
# rpm -q tzdata
tzdata-2006a-2.EL3.1
And:
zdump -v EST5EDT |grep 2007
EST5EDT Sun Mar 11 06:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 EST
isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000
EST5EDT Sun Mar 11 07:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 EDT
isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
EST5EDT Sun Nov 4 05:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:59:59 2007 EDT
isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
EST5EDT Sun Nov 4 06:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2007 EST
isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000
As an odd coincidence, exactly a year ago today I extracted these
settings from a Centos 4 box and the US change was already there.
