Nice work troubleshooting the file date problem. I have had many problems w
site deployment since long ago when I first brought the site to more or less
it's current state of Forrest-y crunchiness.
I'm currently spending some time researching the method for converting to the
newly blessed method for site deployment using the new Apache CMS system, so
hopefully it won't be an issue for too much longer.
