What is the local timezone on the server ? I'm guessing that since 
your email says +4, your server might be set to +3 and this would 
account for your problem.

RRD uses UTC, and all steps are aligned on Unix epoch (ie "start of 
time" at midnight 1st Jan 1970). Hourly/daily etc steps will always 
be aligned on midnight UTC.

It's been discussed regularly in the past, but I can't recall what 
teh answer was.
