Roger,
Pardon me for jumping in here, but you really should upgrade to the latest rev - it is pretty stable, and *much* better in every way. Also, speaking as a software developer myself, it is extremely difficult to troubleshoot issues with older non-supported revs, and half the time it turns out to be a bug that has long since been eradicated. If you are still having the same issues after upgrading, then I'm sure Paul can figure it out.
Just my $0.02 ;-).

I'm still struggling with times, although it may be a Volkslogger issue. I downloaded a flight recently and the time is one hour off. The pda, which had been running correctly now shows GMT-4 rather than GMT-5. It appears to have happened after connecting it to the Volkslogger.
More importantly, when I bring up the same flight in SeeYou using the Volkslogger generated igc file, it is several hours off.
I actually took off at 1 PM.
SoaringPilot shows a take-off at 2 PM. (From SoaringPilot directly or from the igc file. SeeYou has an offset of -5 hrs)
The Volkslogger generated igc file shows a take-off at 10 PM. (SeeYou has an offset of -5 hrs)
1) Correct 2) Time zone setting on the units screen. You need to adjust it so it shows the hours difference from GMT
