Retrieving data from Instep eDNA database

An "hour ending" UTC timestamp of 10/1/2014 16:00 is returned from eDNA when hourly data is requested for a specified time.

However, when minute data is requested for the same time, UTC timestamps of 10/1/2014 16:00, 10/1/2014 16:01, 10/1/2014 16:02, ... etc. are returned; which to me is obviously timestamps for "hour ending" 1700, not 1600.

Has anyone else run into this problem?
Is the simplest solution to specify a time of one hour before the desired time when minute data is needed?
 
Maybe a better way to state this is ..

It appears to me that the time period passed to eDNA for hourly data is assumed by eDNA to be hour ending, and the time period passed to eDNA for minute data is assumed by eDNA to be hour beginning.
