Try your example values in irb:

irb(main):003:0> (9223372036854775807 - 116_444_736_000_000_000) / 
10_000_000
=> 910692730085
irb(main):004:0> Time.at(910692730085)
RangeError: bignum too big to convert into `long'
  from (irb):4:in `at'
  from (irb):4

Time.at expects number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970.

The value you have given it is some time in the year 30,828 :-)

I suspect either your epoch or your multiplier is wrong.
