A little bit of experimentation shows that the correct command is
net user test /times:monday-thursday,14:00-15:00,18:00-22:00;friday-sunday,0
0:00-24:00

The help text for the command (what you called "blurb") does in
fact say that the parameter "all" is used ***instead*** of a date/
time range. It reads "ALL means a user can always log on". It does
not say "ALL means a user can always log on on the specifiied day".
