When I tried to auto-find my position it couldn't do it either. I just manually set myself to the correct location. Not too hard!

This video made me check my setup. My system uses Snow Leopard and is set to detect time automatyically. I have recently returned to NZ from HKong. It switched time automatically when I used it in Auckland. - When I checked it now it was set to Christchurch, although I live in Rotorua. I manually made it check its position from home now and the system said that it was unable to auto-find the position. It simply remembered Christchurch as the last auto-found position.
