Yes dired. I would expect 1970 would never be the default and something went wrong. But it got the permissions exactly. Well as I only connect these systems once a month, maybe some alarm bells should go off: "Do you realize files are being copied without their dates, which will be set to 1970? OK with you for the rest of this session? y, n, ?, C-g" Else otherwise the user might not discover the problem until weeks later, when he can't find his latest work as it is buried...
