It appears to be actual timestamps.

I know the systems need to be fixed.  They are off by a few seconds.  But I
can't fix them, and IT won't fix them.

If I could just mount the share such that the client sets the timestamps, all my
problems would go away.  OK, not *all* my problems, but at least the one
confusing make.
