I've been dealing with Windows shares and support in Leopard/Snow Leopard is 
not very good for them. I know for a fact that the modification time is always 
off by a few seconds. And copying files from/to Windows shares is also 
problematic. What seems to help is to make sure that, on the Windows side, the 
user gives everybody full permissions on what he's sharing.
