Thanks Don.. You are absolutely right.. it is CST vs CDT... Below is what i get when i use CDT... it is basically the opposite now...

Code:
for i in January February March April May June July August September October November December ; do date -d "$i 10, 2013 04:05:00 AM CDT" +%m/%d; done
date: invalid date `January 10, 2013 04:05:00 AM CDT'
date: invalid date `February 10, 2013 04:05:00 AM CDT'
03/10
04/10
05/10
06/10
07/10
08/10
09/10
10/10
date: invalid date `November 10, 2013 04:05:00 AM CDT'
date: invalid date `December 10, 2013 04:05:00 AM CDT'

And your alternate solution works like a charm !! :-)

Thanks a Ton
