I'm facing same problem. But at least in my case, copy operation and 
timestamp preservation seems to work fine.

My configuration may same with Bruce.

    gnuwin32 b18 (from cdk.exe)
    Windows NT 4.0 + SP2 (Japanese edition, file system is NTFS)
    Pentium Pro 200MHz (ya, this may no relation with this problem)


p.s. As you can see at the citation in above, output from date is
still incorrect. I'm setting TZ=JST-9 for our standard time. The
output should be like this;

    Thu May 15 00:35:20 JST 1997

(This is same as output from date of FreeBSD and Solaris. Did GNU
change default output format?)	


Thank you.
