From your log data, this is in the Parameters:

"event"=>{"start_date"=>"12/06/12", "end_date"=>"12/13/12"}

which means start_date and end_date are in a Hash called event, so your controller should look like this:

def dateFilter
    eventIn = params[:event]
    @events = Event.find(:all, :conditions => ["EVENT_DATE_TIME_LOCAL BETWEEN ? AND ?", eventIn[:start_date], eventIn[:end_date]])

    respond_to do |format|
       format.html
       format.json { render json: @events }
       format.js
    end
end

One other small thing - the form_tag class should be set like so:

<%= form_tag({:controller => 'events', :action => 'dateFilter'}, :class => 'date_form', :remote => true) do %>
