Photoshop CS2, Mac OS X.

Opened IMGP3329.PEF, created a Photoshop PSD files, Save As to JPEG.
EXIF Metadata in the PEF file reads

   ... Software: *ist DS  V2.00
   Date Time: 9/10/06, 1:38:04 PM  ...

where EXIF Metadata in the JPEG file reads

   ... Software: Adobe Photoshop CS2 Macintosh

   Date Time: Today, 9:25:25 AM ...
as it ought to. The *ist DS did not create the JPEG file, Photoshop  
CS2 did.

If I import the PEF file with Lightroom and export a JPEG file:

   ... Software: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
   Date Time: Today, 9:43:37 AM ...

again, as it ought to.

If I open the PEF file with Camera Raw and save as directly to a JPEG  
file, these fields are not changed at all. I consider that an error.

But as others have said, this should make no difference at all as to  
whether Pentax accepts or rejects a file. The Make, Model, Lens and  
all other bits of the EXIF metadata information are exactly as the  
camera set them.
