Feeds Changing Time TO GMT on DateTime Import

I have same issue: I'm new to feeds and have spent last 5 days, desperately trawling through all sorts of online resources, looking for for a solution. I thought I was not configuring Feeds properly.
My users need to import a CSV file into nodes, which include a CCK date field with from and to date and time, with granularity down to the minute. My users and the site are all in the Melbourne Australia timezone (currently AEDT (Daylight)time - +11UTC). Server is hosted in US.
Need to import approx 200 nodes at a time, every month or so.
After many aborted attempts, I have finally reverted to creating an Excel based converter: My process is clumsy, but at least at the moment it's working: user enters the date/times in excel - excel converts to UTC via a formula, the appropriate comma delimited formated is down via a concatenate formula, and then user cuts-and-pastes this into text-pad, saves as UTF-8 format, and uploads to drupal via Feeds.
End result (currently!) is that the cck field in drupal is populated with the same date and times as was originally populated in the excel spreadsheet....

I wish I knew enough about PHP to make drupal do all this, I suspect there is some parsing and formatting processes that I could do it all in Drupal rather than excel - but at the moment this is what I have.
And it's still far better than loading 200 nodes by hand!

If anyone has the "proper" solution, I'd be very keen to understand and implement.

This is still an issue. If anyone has come up with any workarounds I'd love to hear them.

ow1n: still an issue for me, but only workaround I have come up with is manually adjusting the required times external to drupal before uploading them. Not good - but at least workable.
