Unfortunately I don't have a Mac available to test with. If a fix is possible that will work with both the Mac and Linux versions of date, anyone is welcome to submit a pull request with the fix. If the fix is going to require some changes that are Mac-specific, I'd encourage a Mac user to make a Mac-specific fork.
I was able to do some testing with a friend's Mac. It doesn't look like the OSX version of date supports getting the number of seconds since epoch, or converting seconds to another time format. I was able to find a solution using awk to get the elapsed seconds, but not a way to format it to HH:MM:SS. You can find a patch here: http://pastebin.com/vDSX8zXB
Works fine, thanks :)
Why not just use the time command?
