Exactly.

Your index_format doesn't use date_format. The codes inside
"%[some codes]" is formatted by C-library function strftime().
Try e.g. "man strftime" to see the available formatting codes for
strftime().
You may want to change "%[%b %d]" to "%[%b %d %H:%M:%S]".
The date_format string is also formatted by strftime(), but it is
only used where there is a %d or %D in the index_format (%d or %D
inside %[...], %{...}, %(...), or %<...> constructs don't count
here).
