[Server-devel] Weird timestamps on XS 0.4 user backup directories.

So I've got an XS 0.4 system running and I have an XO running 8.2
registered with the server and automated backups seem to be happening
fine.  If I log onto the server and look at the XOs backup directory I
see the following:

[root at schoolserver CSN74800E35]# pwd
/library/users/CSN74800E35
[root at schoolserver CSN74800E35]# ls -l

You'll notice that each of the datastore backup directories have
exactly the same modification timestamp (2008-10-14 20:00).  The
change time stamps on the other hand are consistent with
the names.  Is there a reason for this?  Why that particular date/time
for the mod time?
