Try connecting via telnet, verify again that the TZ is correct, kill
mvpmc, and start it manually. Then see if the guide is still wrong.
That'll confirm that you're launching mvpmc from an environment with the
time zone set.

You can troubleshoot this by examining /etc/udhcpc.config on your MVP
and seeing what NTP is set to. If it is there, and set to something
reasonable, try killing the NTP client:
# killall ntpclient
and then starting it in the same way that the /etc/rcS script does,
which is approximately:
# /bin/ntpclient -d -l -h "$NTP" &
and see if that works.

I use some code like:
. /etc/udhcpc.config
[...]
RSETTINGS=settings.${HNAME:-$IP}
to build a file name for saving settings that incorporates the host
name. Both $HNAME and $IP are imported from /etc/udhcpc.config. In my
case $HNAME gets set to something useful and unique by my DHCP server.
I've seen startup scripts that play around with the hostname command due
to their DHCP server not properly assigning a hostname to their MVP.

There's a possible explanation for that: if your command line has an
error in it (and mvpmc is really picky) it will blurt out an error and
exit (or crash), allowing the remainder of your code to work, and the
fall-back startup command in /etc/rcS to run.
Are you sure the command line options you are specifying are having an
effect? Does your database connection work, for example?
