CRON job not uploading photos to Amazon S3

I have my photos set to be stored on Amazon S3. Yet when the cron job runs it tells me that there are no photos to upload to S3. I have a little over 1 GB of photos stored in the ES media folders and they are not being transferred to S3.

I also noticed that the time stamp in the cron job is about 7 hours ahead of the time zone I have set in the Joomla preferences.

Here is the CRON results of it being run:
