Looks like you are using the table from
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#ttag-now, which
is used for formatting date/times for output. The input formats, as noted
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#date-input-formats use
Python's formatting characters:
http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html#strftime-strptime-behavior, not
the ones in that other table which come from PHP's date() function (yes,
this is not ideal that the two are different, but that's the way it is).

%n is not in Python's table -- I think you want %m where you have %n

%j, to Python, is day of the year as a decimal number, not day of the month.
I think you want %d where you have %j

%M is minutes, I think you want %b where you have %M

%F is not in the table, I think you want %B where you have %F.
