I had this problem, too, though on the 32-bit Ubuntu 8.10.

PROCEDURE
- fresh install of 8.10 on RAID-1 pair (ext3)
- reconnect old 8.04.1 drive (one of previous RAID1 pair)
- I don't think I did a 'proper' mount, e.g. from command-line or through 
/etc/fstab.  Instead, I think I was able to access the drive through Ubuntu's 
Places > "160GB hard-drive" entry
- I copied a large folder of Photos to the new drive
- I may have tweaked the file ACLs on the source-drive to allow me access?

RESULT
All files on new drive have the timestamp of the copy.

Also, I copied the folder to /home/Photos rather than my own home-dir
because my wife and I share the computer.  Could there have been an
issue with the file ACLs on the newly-written files, i.e., that
prevented the original timestamp from being copied?
