Workaround:
If the foreign filesystem is mounted with uid=<your username> then cp
and Nautilus preserve the file timestamps and permissions. Ubuntu is
automounting with a userid other than that of the current user and the
file is "owned" by this other userid at the time that permissions and
timestamps are set, before ownership reverts to the logged in user.
I.e. the following DOES preserve times:
sudo mount -t cifs -o
username=server_user,password=<password>,uid=stuart server:data data
I found the explanation at
