Why not change the timezone directly in the linux with timeconfig?

It's normal, swinst run timeconfig...
You have a problem with the file /etc/sysconfig/clock
Check this file, read and write rights for root.
You can test this an empty file or copy this file from an other CPU (transfer in binary mode via FTP, use swinst account to have rights to write in /etc).
