Hi,

I used to update directories using

cp -pdRvu

which worked fine. But since the last update I made the -p option causes 
troubles. Some files are copied even if they are definitely not newer 
than the destination file. Example:

$ cp -pdRvu backups.txt test.txt
`backups.txt' -> `test.txt'
$ cp -pdRvu backups.txt test.txt
`backups.txt' -> `test.txt'


Any clue? It's on Win2k, NTFS file system.

regards,
hubert
