I can help with the time zone thing.  I had to hack my majordomo 1.62
wrapper to stuff the TZ variable into the new_env array.  Here's how I
did it in that version:

/* Make an additional slot in the new_env array */
char * new_env[] = {
    HOME,               /* 0 */
    PATH,               /* 1 */
    SHELL,              /* 2 */
#ifdef MAJORDOMO_CF
    MAJORDOMO_CF,       /* 3 */
#endif
    0,          /* possibly for USER or LOGNAME */
    0,          /* possible for LOGNAME */
    0,          /* possibly for time zone */
    0
};

[...]
/* In the section that stuffs the USER and LOGNAME variables, add an 
   additional line to stuff the TZ variable also */

    for (i = 0 ; env[i] != NULL ; i++) {
        if ((strncmp(env[i], "USER=", 5) == 0) ||
                (strncmp(env[i], "LOGNAME=", 8) == 0) ||
                (strncmp(env[i], "TZ=", 3) == 0)) {
            new_env[e++] = env[i];
        }
    }

That seems to do the trick.
