I finally got access to the box and we figured it out. 2-scheduler/dsmcad were running. This was caused by someone updating the scheduler startup script and changing "dsmc" to "dsmcad" but missed it in the "shutdown" command part of the script. Therefore, one scheduler was asking to start the schedule after the start of the startup window, thus the confusing error message.
Thanks for the help..... BTW, the time and timezones are correct.
