I recognized that to. But since I need the timeZone in sope-operations
for this recurrence issue, I tested it with
...
zoneDiff = [timeZone secondsFromGMTForDate:dateValue];
   if (zoneDiff != 0){
       dateValue = [dateValue dateByAddingYears:0
                                         months:0
                                           days:0
                                          hours:0
                                        minutes:0
                                        seconds:(zoneDiff * -1)];
       [dateValue setTimeZone:timeZone]
   }
...
And that works - strangely but it does. You get the right
appointment-date(s) set in the DB and the timeZone is available for
other operations in OGO, Zidestore and Sope.
