How far apart is the log time from the real time? Could it be a time zone setting is off somewhere?

If the timezone is correct, I would next check the dst setting. From the 4.0MR3 handbook....
 By default, FortiOS has the daylight savings time configuration
 enabled. The system time must be manually adjusted after
 daylight saving time ends. To disable DST, in the CLI enter
 the commands:
 
    config system global
        set dst disable
    end

Played around with the timezone and dst settings. The date/time stamps on the raw log entries should reflect what is listed as the time/date in the GUI.
