droodle,
Although it's probably not the answer you wanted to hear, I have abandoned
w32time in favour of using NTP on all my Windows PCs. NTP allows you to
sync your PCs, and will sync your central server to a UTC reference source
such as Internet servers or a GPS/PPS source. The NTP I recommend
replaces w32time, and can be downloaded from:
http://www.meinberg.de/english/sw/ntp.htm
I hope someone else may be able to help you with using w32time, should you
need to take that route. Also, check:
