The descriptive text in Horde's permissions interface was incorrect.  
The protocol specifies that this value is in seconds. The description  
has already been changed in Horde for the next bug fix release. We  
were always just sending this value to the client as-is so if there is  
a discrepancy between how clients interpret this, it is the client's  
issue. It should be taken as seconds.
