Yes, it does. The files sitting in the .AppleDouble directories have timestamp
information embedded in them. Looking at my AppleDouble documentation, it is
entry descriptor 8.
Touching these files will not change the timestamp info in the file, and I know
of no tool that will do (though one could be cooked up easily enough).
I guess Samba's netatalk integration doesn't take this into account. Bummer.
