Issues with timeperiods

I was attempting to setup an on call rotation per the directions on the
website and have run into a little snag that I am not sure really is a
snag. My timeperiods file looks like this:

define timeperiod{
	timeperiod_name	cbakeroncall
	alias		Charles Baker on call weeks
	2008-07-21	00:00-24:00
}
# timeperiods.cfg - Config file for Nagios (www.nagios.org)
#
# Written by Nawui 0.1.5-dev. Manually editing this file is a bad idea
since Nawui will
# overwrite it. 
#
# Exported at 11:54:47 - 01 Apr 2004

define timeperiod {
	timeperiod_name	24x7
	alias		24 Hours A Day, 7 Days A Week
	sunday		00:00-24:00
	monday		00:00-24:00
	tuesday		00:00-24:00
	wednesday	00:00-24:00
	thursday	00:00-24:00
	friday		00:00-24:00
	saturday	00:00-24:00
}

define timeperiod {
	timeperiod_name	workhours
	alias		Work hours
	monday		08:00-18:00
	tuesday		08:00-18:00
	wednesday	08:00-18:00
	thursday	08:00-18:00
	friday		08:00-18:00
}

define timeperiod {
	timeperiod_name	nonworkhours
	alias		Non-Work Hours
	sunday		00:00-24:00
	monday		00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
	tuesday		00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
	wednesday	00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
	thursday	00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
	friday		00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
	saturday	00:00-24:00
}

define timeperiod {
		timeperiod_name	none
		alias		No Time Is A Good Time
}

# This says some guy named Nawui is gonna overwrite this file if I put
this here.
# Well, I'm just that crazy.
define timeperiod {
	timeperiod_name	non_netapp_maintenance
	alias		Always except NetApp Maintenance cronjobs
	sunday		00:00-01:00,05:00-24:00
	monday		00:00-01:00,05:00-24:00
	tuesday		00:00-01:00,05:00-24:00
	wednesday	00:00-01:00,05:00-24:00
	thursday	00:00-01:00,05:00-24:00
	friday		00:00-01:00,05:00-24:00
	saturday	00:00-01:00,05:00-24:00
}

Now, the problem is at the top of the file, if I look at the timeperiods
config in the CGI it looks like this:

Time Periods

Name 	Alias/Description 	Exclusions 	Days/Dates 	Times
24x7 	24 Hours A Day, 7 Days A Week 		sunday	00:00:00 -
24:00:00 
	monday	00:00:00 - 24:00:00 
	tuesday	00:00:00 - 24:00:00 
	wednesday	00:00:00 - 24:00:00 
	thursday	00:00:00 - 24:00:00 
	friday	00:00:00 - 24:00:00 
	saturday	00:00:00 - 24:00:00 
cbakeroncall 	Charles Baker on call weeks 		2008-05-21
00:00:00 - 24:00:00
non_netapp_maintenance 	Always except NetApp Maintenance cronjobs
sunday	05:00:00 - 24:00:00, 00:00:00 - 01:00:00 
	monday	05:00:00 - 24:00:00, 00:00:00 - 01:00:00 
	tuesday	05:00:00 - 24:00:00, 00:00:00 - 01:00:00 
	wednesday	05:00:00 - 24:00:00, 00:00:00 - 01:00:00 
	thursday	05:00:00 - 24:00:00, 00:00:00 - 01:00:00 
	friday	05:00:00 - 24:00:00, 00:00:00 - 01:00:00 
	saturday	05:00:00 - 24:00:00, 00:00:00 - 01:00:00 
none 	No Time Is A Good Time 		
nonworkhours 	Non-Work Hours 		sunday	00:00:00 - 24:00:00 
	monday	17:00:00 - 24:00:00, 00:00:00 - 09:00:00 
	tuesday	17:00:00 - 24:00:00, 00:00:00 - 09:00:00 
	wednesday	17:00:00 - 24:00:00, 00:00:00 - 09:00:00 
	thursday	17:00:00 - 24:00:00, 00:00:00 - 09:00:00 
	friday	17:00:00 - 24:00:00, 00:00:00 - 09:00:00 
	saturday	00:00:00 - 24:00:00 
workhours 	Work hours 		monday	08:00:00 - 18:00:00 
	tuesday	08:00:00 - 18:00:00 
	wednesday	08:00:00 - 18:00:00 
	thursday	08:00:00 - 18:00:00 
	friday	08:00:00 - 18:00:00 

Notice the date in the config file is 2008-07-21 and the date the CGI
reports is 2008-05-21. So my question is this, is this just a matter of
the CGI being broken and not being able to correctly interpret the
configuration, or is it nagios itself that is broken. If it is just the
CGI I will be perfectly okay with that. If not, I would like to put it
in as a bug.
