Yes this appears to be an nfs only problem.

Rather than a time delay I would expect caching to be the 
culprit. I'll search on deja/google to try to find out why 
nfs reports incorrect file times.

(At least from KMail's point of view) this is a horrible 
bug in nfs. 

This is too severe a bug for me to believe there is not 
some way around it. How does unix make(1) work on such a 
broken file system?

Do you know if there is anyway to get accurate file times 
for files on your file system?

Don.
