I am saving recurring calendar events programatically. Here is my code.

using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())

SPList list = web.Lists["Bookings"];
SPListItem recEvent = list.Items.Add();

I am facing issue when i add a new event which is recurring Daily Every Weekday and End After 10 Occurances, the Reccurence rule formed is
<recurrence><rule><firstDayOfWeek>su</firstDayOfWeek><repeat><daily weekday="TRUE" /></repeat><repeatInstances>10</repeatInstances></rule></recurrence>
But when i look at the Calendar view than i get the entries Starting on next day of the start date as seen in fig: I had set Start Date as 10/09/2012 but the event starts from 11/09/2012 and weekdays are considered from Tuesday to Saturday instead of Monday To Friday. I dont know why this is happening.
The view which consists of all instances of recurring items:
Please help me to sort out why the week days are considered from Tuesday to Friday, this issue happens only when i add entry programatically, works fine when adding event through Sharepoint UI.also why is Start Date gets saved as 11/09/2012 when the input was 10/09/2012?
