I just validated the feed for one of the pages for this forum, and it came back as valid. The data format looks the same to me. I noticed in your date, there is a character missing from “Friday”:

<pubDate>Fr, 02 Jan 2009 10:57:20 +0000</pubDate></blockqoute>

This date format is correct for RFC 822 from a Linux command line:

[~/ch/bbpress]$ date -R

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 10:12:42 -0500

So, I think there is just some problem with your date function, missing the “i” in Friday, or you typed incorrectly instead of pasting, and the missing “i” is just a typo.
