Java SimpleDateFormat for time zone with a colon separator?

I have a date in the following format: 2010-03-01T00:00:00-08:00

I have thrown the following SimpleDateFormats at it to parse it:

private static final SimpleDateFormat[] FORMATS = {
        new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"), //ISO8601 long RFC822 zone
        new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssz"), //ISO8601 long long form zone
        new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"), //ignore timezone
        new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddHHmmssZ"), //ISO8601 short
        new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddHHmm"),
        new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd"), //birthdate from NIST IHE C32 sample
        new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMM"),
        new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy") //just the year
    };

I have a convenience method that uses those formats like so:

public static Date figureOutTheDamnDate(String wtf) {
    if (wtf == null) {
        return null;
    }
    Date retval = null;
    for (SimpleDateFormat sdf : FORMATS) {
        try {
            sdf.setLenient(false)
            retval = sdf.parse(wtf);
            System.out.println("Date:" + wtf + " hit on pattern:" + sdf.toPattern());
            break;
        } catch (ParseException ex) {
            retval = null;
            continue;
        }
    }

    return retval;
}

It seems to hit on the pattern yyyyMMddHHmm but returns the date as Thu Dec 03 00:01:00 PST 2009.

What is the correct pattern to parse this date?

UPDATE: I don't NEED the time zone parsing. I don't anticipate having time sensitive issues moving between zones, but how would I get the "-08:00" zone format to parse????

Unit test:

@Test
public void test_date_parser() {
    System.out.println("\ntest_date_parser");
    //month is zero based, are you effing kidding me
    Calendar d = new GregorianCalendar(2000, 3, 6, 13, 00, 00);
    assertEquals(d.getTime(), MyClass.figureOutTh
