Finally, I figured out the issue! In order to store a time() from epoch, 
your db type cannot be 'time' but instead must be 'float'
The crud.create form I was generating let the erroneous value thru, and the 
db wasn't liking it; however, the form within appadmin caught the issue 
saying it needed hh:mm:ss. I imagine what happened was I set the default 
value for the field to time() and the type to 'time' and it tried to unpack 
a datetime.time from the float only finding 2 values (left & right of 
decimal). In my prior post, the default value was 0, hence need more than 1 
value to unpack. not sure this is relevant to the originally posted 
problem, but hopefully it'll help someone in the future.

what a noob...
