Sorry, should have said, "If you do not provide one, the CQL layer on the 
server adds the timestamp", unlike thrift where the timestamp is always client 
side.

Bill,
Glad 1.1.6 fixed your issue.

For the record, you can supply a timestamp with CQL, same as you can
with Thrift.  For example:

INSERT INTO somedb.sometable (id, given, surname) VALUES ('pgriffith',
'Peter', 'Griffith') USING TIMESTAMP 42;
