Submit job to begin at 0230 hrs and run daily

Question

Hi,
Oracle version - 10.2.0.4
Env- Windows 32 bit 2003 server R2
I scheduled a job with the below command to run on daily basis by exactly 02:30 am but the job is not running as per scheduled, it's running 30 minutes before the schedule.
Command used to schedule the job.
DECLARE
X NUMBER;
BEGIN
SYS.DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT
( job => X
,what => 'TESTJOB(20,20302);'
,next_date => to_date('10/08/2011 02:30:00','dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
,interval => 'TRUNC(SYSDATE+1)+2/24'
,no_parse => FALSE
SYS.DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Job Name is TEST JOB ' || to_char(x));
COMMIT;
END;
I came to know this when i queried the dba_jobs view last_date column,
JOB WHAT NEXT_DATE LAST_DATE
123 TESTJOB(20,20302) 08/17/2011 *02:00:00* 08/16/2011 *02:00:03*
Can you pls let me know where i am wrong !!
Thanks
