I think you have a problem with `dired-move-to-filename-regexp'. It's
not accessible by customize, so have a look at it in dired.el. There
you find a modular definition of what the parts of a date look like,
so dired can skip past it and find the filename. 

Copy the whole defvar to your scratch-buffer, delete the documentation
string and write `setq' for `defvar', and then play a little with
it. I suppose, you know how to C-x C-e and to M-C-x?

I can't help you further, because when i give the --full-time switch
to dired, out comes something like this:

  -rw-r--r--   1 anselm anselm     52480 2006-01-31 01:49:59.000000000 +0100 
darcsum.el

And that's just working out of the box with dired (it's the iso-date format). 

This applies to: Debian sarge, Gnu Emacs 21.4, german locale. 

Ehrm... happy hacking. 8-)
