Fred:

RT uses Time::ParseDate for its date formats:

http://search.cpan.org/author/MUIR/Time-modules-2003.0211/lib/Time/ParseDate.pm

if you look at the code:

        my $date = Time::ParseDate::parsedate($args{'Value'},
                        UK => $RT::DateDayBeforeMonth,
                        PREFER_PAST => $RT::AmbiguousDayInPast,
                        PREFER_FUTURE => !($RT::AmbiguousDayInPast));

so you'll need to set $RT::DateBayBeforeMonth in your etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm 
file.
