My error:
Couldn't match expected type `T.UTCTime'
           against inferred type `T.LocalTime'
    In the second argument of `formatTime', namely `date'
    In the expression: formatTime "%Y/%m/%e %k:%M:%S" date
Nevermind...

I had defined :

formatTime = T.formatTime defaultTimeLocale

which used the T.formatTime for the UTCTime instance.  The following

 T.formatTime defaultTimeLocale "%Y/%m/%e %k:%M:%S" date

works just fine (date is Localtime)
