datetime is from boost.

Your date format is not correct. '-' is for iso 8601, american's date
should use '/'. Iso 8601 is YEAR-Month-Day (the '-' might be omitted in
non-extended format)

There is only one format for date, Iso 8601. All other formats are doomed.

The difference of 6 hours might be due to your timezone (which you did
not print, or its settings somewhere): give a try to "%z", "%Z" or "%ZP"
