RFC822 date-string to NSDate

I'm having trouble grokking NSDateFormatter on OS X 10.4. Does it 
support RFC822-style dates? I'm parsing an XML document; here's the 
pertinent code snippet:

        NSLog(@"observation_time_rfc822 element end");
        NSDateFormatter * dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] 
init];
        [dateFormatter 
setFormatterBehavior:NSDateFormatterBehavior10_4];
        myObservationTime = [dateFormatter 
dateFromString:myCurrentStringValue];
        NSLog(@"myObservationTime %@", myObservationTime);
        myObservationTimeRFC822 = [[NSString alloc] 
initWithString:myCurrentStringValue];

The myObservationTimeRFC822 string is "Mon, 30 Jun 2008 13:56:00 
-0400 EDT", but NSLog(@"myObservationTime %@", myObservationTime) 
prints "myObservationTime 1969-12-31 19:00:00 -0500".

Best regards,
-Steve
