That function doesn't exist in maptools, but I guess you're referring to
sunriset().  Even with that assumption, I get:

---<---------------cut here---------------start-------------->---
R> sunriset(34.11583, -118.18719, "2008-11-14")
Error in function (classes, fdef, mtable)  : 
  unable to find an inherited method for function "sunriset", for signature "numeric", "numeric"
---<---------------cut here---------------end---------------->---

Doesn't look like a time zone issue at all.  Can you show something we
can all run on our systems as per the posting guide?  That would save us
lots of time.
