Fair enough; Would you mind linking me to that config(or a list of the separate keyboards)?

Fixed in version 0.26. I thought I had fixed it earlier; seems I needed to have "hwclock -s" later on in my script.

Thats actually a very good idea.
It takes some extra time(~30 seconds for rootFS backup, a few minutes for OptFS), but it should let you know that things are good(or not).

BTW, I think I fixed the backup/restore problem - It seems that the rootfs/optfs were already mounted by the time my script gets run.
So... copying/restoring onto mounted FS - not exactly a good idea.
Fixed in 0.26. (I ran umount for both, and checked to make sure they actually -were- unmounted).

New version uploaded to the same location as the old one.
