Thanks for the report.  However, I cannot decipher what you are asking.

Possibly you are tripping up on a FAQ?
http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/#The-date-command-is-not-working-right_002e

you were expecting 'date' to output.  Also, knowing your timezone might
be relevant.

You might have better success if you learn how to more effectively

No response after two months...
I assume it was a misunderstanding, not a bug, I've closed this issue.
