The o/p highlights the fact that his date command does not work if today's day number did not exist in the previous month.
e.g. 31/03/10 is a valid date but 31/02/10 is not. The o/s in use translates 31/02/10 into 03/03/10 ! Because the o/p wanted the previous month number it is wrong.
My circumvention is to fool "date" that is mid-month but I can't test the syntax without having a copy of Redhat.
Can you try it on your test system and post the results.
