See...I keep making the assumption that Zalanthas has 24-hour days.  My bad.

yea, so that means two weeks per rl day? I always get so confused. Where's the documentation for this?

Let me do a search real quick....

ah, beautiful:
http://www.zalanthas.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=71431#71431

a summary:10 RL minutes = 1 ZT hour
90 RL minutes = 1 ZT day
1 RL day = 16 ZT days
1 RL week = 112 ZT days or 48.5% (~1/2 ZT month)
14.4 RL days (~2 RL weeks) = 1 ZT month
43.3 RL days (~6 RL weeks) = 1 ZT year
1 RL year (365 RL days) = 8.4 ZT year

Rougher, but easier to remember:
10 RL minutes = 1 ZT hour
90 RL minutes = 1 ZT day
1 RL day = 1.5 ZT weeks
1 RL week = 1/2 ZT month
6 RL weeks = 1 ZT year
1 RL year = 8.5 ZT years

and...from the help file for "time"

A summary of the organization of Zalanthan time might be as follows:
