That's what you didn't tell us. I'm not sure either, perhaps a bug in
ScanDateTime. This little program shows it (got EConvertError):

uses
  SysUtils,DateUtils;
var
  f: TFormatSettings;
  t: TDateTime;
begin
  f:=DefaultFormatSettings;
  f.LongMonthNames[11]:='November';
  t:=ScanDateTime('mmmm dd hh:nn:ss:yyyy','November 21 09:42:21:2008',f);
  WriteLn(FormatDateTime('mmmm dd hh:nn:ss yyyy',t));
end.

but surprisingly, if I change the line that calls ScanDateTime to:

t:=ScanDateTime('mmmm dd:hh:nn:ss:yyyy','November 21:09:42:21:2008',f);

it works. But then, only hh:nn:ss part returns the correct value. You may
want to post a bug report.
Btw, could you post your complete TFormatSettings? Maybe it's related
somehow.
