The better page on the wiki is:
http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/timezone

Though the shown DST transitions aren't correct. I was going to link to 
a reference showing the correct info when I was working on that page 
about a month ago, but ran out of time.

What you show below appears to be the correct transition points, if I 
remember correctly.

A construct like this is simpler:

# set time zone
echo "TZ=PST+8PDT,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2; export TZ" > /etc/shell.config
. /etc/shell.config

In my experience the problem showed up coincident with the MythTV 
commercial skip code. It's been discussed before on the list. Hitting 
the skip key a few more times should get you back on track without 
having to stop and restart the video.

Better yet, set the NTP variable and let the main startup script handle 
it, or set this via DHCP. See:

http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/timeserver

for the full list of options.

I'm not following what you're trying to accomplish here. I don't 
remember this being in any of the example startup scripts shown on the wiki.

The mvpmc executable does not go into the background, and thus nothing 
beyond this point will be executed unless you terminate that line with a 
"&".

Such as this:

> # setup mounting to view photos
> mkdir /mvpmc_media/pictures
> mount.cifs //10.12.13.10/shared /mvpmc_media/pictures -o username=**********

and the remaining commands in the main rcS startup script that calls 
your startup script.
