It looks like on x86 linux, 271 is in fact utimes(), according to <http://www.lxhp.in-berlin.de/lhpsysc0.html>. The fact that strace shows 5 arguments is probably because it cannot identify it (and thus does not know the nature of its arguments), not because it actually has 5. It is a bit odd that your strace does not identify this -- are you sure you're using a strace that was compiled against the proper kernel headers? It sounds like you're using an old strace with a newer kernel.
