Open Lab Retention Time Issue (6890)

We have Agilent OpenLab CDS 2.4 connected to both a 6890 and 8890 GC.  There are no issues with the 8890, but with the 6890 the retention times in the Data Analysis chromatograms are off by a factor of ten.  In other words, if a peak normally elutes at 7 minutes, it is showing the RT to be 70 minutes on the chromatogram.  Has anyone ever seen anything like this?  6890 Firmware version is A.03.08.  See chromatograms below.

 

 Chromatogram that is off by a factor of 10.

    The Retention Time issue on the 6890 was corrected for a short period of time by uninstalling and re-installing the instrument on our OpenLab system and using newly created Acquisition Methods.  However, after a few months it is back to having the RT's off by a factor of 10 again.  Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.
