Can you produce a *small* example that shows this? Try this: date -R > date1.txt ls -d --full-time date1.txt cp -p date1.txt ~/iPodderData/downloads/'KFI Tech Guy'/ ls -d --full-time ~/iPodderData/downloads/'KFI Tech Guy'/date1.txt date -R > date2.txt ls -d --full-time date2.txt mv date2.txt ~/iPodderData/downloads/'KFI Tech Guy'/ ls -d --full-time ~/iPodderData/downloads/'KFI Tech Guy'/date2.txt What output is produced?
