Sorry. My mistake.
For some reason the example was cut off when I read your latest post in my
browser, but now the example is visible. And it's also visible in the
digest which arrived overnight.

It may be related to the networked volume, but it's still a bug.
If the networked file-system doesn't support date-changes, then
setLastModified() should return false. Since it returns true, the date
should be changed, and lastModified() should return it. The File API docs
make this behavior quite clear.
What wouldn't necessarily be a bug would be other processes seeing the
date-change right away. I would expect a networked file system to only
flush such changes infrequently. But that's not what you're seeing.
I'd be kinda curious what kind of modified-date support there is on iDisk,
and try it using tools other than Java, such as the 'touch' command in
Terminal.
In any case, I think you have a real bug there, so please file it:
