FVS318G outbound filter doesn't work.

I'm trying to block outbound traffic for certain users based on a schedule.  My time is set correctly.  In the outbound rule my default is to Allow all.

 

I create a filter for 'Alllow only during schedule,block otherwise' for either a group or have also tried speciv IP based on the LAN users list.  This filter doesnt work.  If i select block always then the specific user will be blocked.  If i choose 'Block per schedule, allow otherwise' it believe it works, so opposite what i would expect.  Its as if my time is incorrect but agin i know it's correct according to the time page when i look at it.

 

I noticed some of the FAQ suggesting to try setting the default to 'Block always' and then add filters to allow per schedule but was hoping to see some scheduling best practices as they currently aren't working (hard to believe since Netgear has scheduling in every product) or i'm dense and not understanding the menue selections.
