I think they logged the following bug report:
(28261) FILE_INFO: CTIME, ATIME, MTIME different on Windows and UNIX for
same file.

I recall having this problem, too, and I believe I
reported it to RSI. I just can find (or remember)
what their reply was. :-(
I *believe* it was something like "the creation
date on Windows files is unreliable". Or maybe
that was my conclusion. I don't recall.
It's probably worth running by RSI again.
Cheers,
David
