Windows maintains

  creationTime

  lastAccessTime

  lastWriteTime

  changeTime

the AFS file server does not communicate creationTime as part of the
FetchStatus response and accessTime cannot be accurately tracked in
AFS.  Therefore, the AFS clientModTime is used for all four of the
above values as reported to Windows.
