This "incantation" is the standard name for your timezone across most systems. Out of curiosity I've just tried "IDT" timezone on 3 machines (Linux, FreeBSD and OpenSolaris) neither of'em supported it. However, they all supported "Israel/Tel Aviv", which is the real name for your timezone. The bundled timezones Derick provides ensure that there is a constant list of available timezones that is always available. On many systems the full list was simply not compiled, so you simply cannot change the TZ period. With the new change this is once again possible.
