Copying a file to any destination except an smb share preserves the file
modification dates. Files copied to an smb share (whether copied through
Nautilus or command line) have the date and time at which the copy was
performed. The --preserve option in cp has no effect. Copying to NTFS,
ext3, FAT and usb-attached storage always preserves the date, copying
from smb preserves the date, just writing to smb is faulty. This applies
to Ubuntu 8.10 with all updates applied at the date of writing.
This bug is a real downer when trying to share a set of resources in a
single smb directory because Ubuntu writes an incorrect (more recent)
file modification date. Windows and Mac systems on the same network
preserve the original file modification date when copying to smb.
