I bet your problem is related to wrong applience of installation step 2. Either one is what happened:
1- You entered the date incorrectly. For example you might have forgotten we are in 2003 now and enter the year as 2002.
2- You entered the date in the wrong format: The correct format is: "YYYY-MM-DD". For example if you entered it like YYYY-DD-MM this would be wrong.

The admin email notice seconds this. It says :

Birthdays for day (2002-09-22) celebrated at January 13, 2003, 12:00 am (Server Time)

So it's obvious that the script was regarding "today's date" as "2002-09-22" so today's date in installation step 2 was not entered correctly. Check the first greeting message the hack produced and you'll see what (approximately) date was the script accepting as "today's date" when you first installed it. If it is something like "January 2002", your problem is related to the first reason I mentioned above, if its a date later than this, it should be the second reason..

I strongly believe your problem is not related to the script, it's tested for a real long time in many servers. So don't be afraid to retry it, provided that you install it carefully (especially step 2). Also it's suggested the you run the script in debug mode (3) first, which will make sure your users will not get any mails or PMs until you are confident it's working ok..

Hope this helps..
