I've been able to reproduce this against windows:

  6   0.008533 10.11.231.229 -> 10.11.231.44 SMB NT Create AndX Request, Path:
\p1\p2\p3\svc-recv-error.patch
  7   0.009599 10.11.231.44 -> 10.11.231.229 SMB NT Create AndX Response, FID:
0xc00f

...file is created...

  8   0.011168 10.11.231.229 -> 10.11.231.44 SMB Write AndX Request, FID:
0xc00f, 827 bytes at offset 0
  9   0.012117 10.11.231.44 -> 10.11.231.229 SMB Write AndX Response, FID:
0xc00f, 827 bytes

...write some data to it...

 10   0.013129 10.11.231.229 -> 10.11.231.44 SMB Trans2 Request, SET_PATH_INFO,
Path: \p1\p2\p3\svc-recv-error.patch
 11   0.014082 10.11.231.44 -> 10.11.231.229 SMB Trans2 Response, SET_PATH_INFO

...here we set the "last write" and "last access" times to the timestamp of the
source file. Server returns success....


 12   0.015010 10.11.231.229 -> 10.11.231.44 SMB Close Request, FID: 0xc00f
 13   0.015803 10.11.231.44 -> 10.11.231.229 SMB Close Response, FID: 0xc00f

...we close the file...

 15   5.823131 10.11.231.229 -> 10.11.231.44 SMB Trans2 Request,
QUERY_PATH_INFO, Query File All Info, Path: \p1\p2\p3\svc-recv-error.patch
 16   5.824217 10.11.231.44 -> 10.11.231.229 SMB Trans2 Response, QUERY_PATH_INFO

...now QUERY_PATH_INFO (I did a stat against the file on the client). This info
has the "last write" time set to the current time -- *not* what was set in the
SET_PATH_INFO call above. Apparently the CLOSE call is affecting the "last
write" time somehow.

I suspect that the server is buffering the write until the close call comes in
and then that is clobbering the time we're setting. We may be able to mitigate
this by forcing it to flush the data before the SET_PATH_INFO call, but I'll
need to research it a bit...
