You're welcome.

        I will talk to the people who extracted the file and see
if there is a possibility we got the wrong data in that field.
One would hope that the time stamp data are normal 32-bit values
that can be sucked in by a %lx in sscanf.

No, they aren't, but there is sample code at the end of RFC-4122 which you might want to review. In particular:

typedef unsigned64_t uuid_time_t;

void get_system_time(uuid_time_t *uuid_time)
{
    struct timeval tp;

    gettimeofday(&tp, (struct timezone *)0);

    /* Offset between UUID formatted times and Unix formatted times.
       UUID UTC base time is October 15, 1582.
       Unix base time is January 1, 1970.*/
    *uuid_time = ((unsigned64)tp.tv_sec * 10000000)
        + ((unsigned64)tp.tv_usec * 10)
        + I64(0x01B21DD213814000);
}
