SimpleDateFormat seems to have trouble when the weekday is included in the format string. See this:

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Locale;

public class DateTest
{
	public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
	{
            String now = "2010/10/27 10:00:00 Wed";
		
	    SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss EEE", Locale.US);
	    System.out.println(df.parse(now));
	    
	    df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss", Locale.US);
	    System.out.println(df.parse(now));
	}
}

which outputs:

Wed Sep 29 10:00:00 CEST 2010
Wed Oct 27 10:00:00 CEST 2010

The first one is wrong, the second one is right.
