Unix has a concept of multiple times. Access time, Modified date, Created time, maybe more. Samba coming from windows linage probably only has one date/time field and depending how you copy depends on which field the date is inserted in.... maybe?
man ls and search for 'time'. You can ls a file and display it's many different time stamps or try: ls -la --time=atime filename -> show time file last accessed ls -la --time=ctime filename -> show time file was created ls -la filename -> show time file was last modified This also depends on the underlying filesystem and it's capabilies.
