I get the following error when i validate

"This feed does not validate.

line 25, column 30: dc:date must be an W3CDTF date: 2009-04-17 09:25:59 (8 occurrences) [help]"

I Replace with:

<li><a href="{$BASE_URL}rss/all/">{$translations.rss.all_categories}</a></li>
no luck.

how do i go about making it look like that?

Great tip, but according to the feed validator that's still not a valid dateformat. I commented

properties['dc:date'] = $job['mysql_date'];

so that it's not being written.

Still waiting for THE solution

no luck

I get the following error:

"This feed does not validate.

line 19, column 30: dc:date must be an W3CDTF date: 2009-05-12 19:19:09 (2 occurrences) [help]"

Here are the steps:
1._templates/rss.tpl: Replace "toate" with "all" 
2. $properties['dc:date'] = date('d-m-Y'); : replace with "c"
$properties['dc:date'] = $job['mysql_date'] replace with
3. class.Feed.php" $properties['dc:date'] = str_replace(" ","T",$job['mysql_date'])
                                                .substr_replace(date("O"),":",3,0);

Thanks for your help!

Still waiting for THE solution

Works fine for me too.
Thanx Lxer!

Try testing the feed with jobs in it.

You also have issues on your jobberbase because of invalid characters in category url field, there should be no forward slashes in the url field, and also no spaces (in admin>categories). Dashes and underscores are ok.
Your jobberbase rss feed validates fine and there is no 1969 in your "rss/all", could be wordpress issue, google "December 31st, 1969 mysql wordpress rss", there are many with same issue.

Thanks for all of your help.... here's the final file version that works:
