I encounter this when copying files to an NTFS partition mounted in
fstab with ntfs-3g.
/etc/fstab line:
UUID=[xxxx] /drives/store ntfs-3g rw,gid=121,fmask=002,dmask=002 0 2
This is the result when I use cp -va:
$ cp -va /media/disk/DCIM/100SSCAM/SDC10{717..753}.JPG
/drives/store/[...]/Photos/Sep\ 5\ 2009/
`/media/disk/DCIM/100SSCAM/SDC10717.JPG' -> `/drives/store/[...]/Photos/Sep 5
2009/SDC10717.JPG'
cp: preserving times for `/drives/store/[...]/Photos/Sep 5 2009/SDC10717.JPG':
Operation not permitted
When I use sudo cp -va, the operation works and mtimes are preserved.
So, this is not Nautilus's fault directly, but it should give a warning
about lost timestamps, especially if it is moving files instead of
copying.
