Is that really what's in the Retrospect log?  If so, then they're 
being bizarre to you.  Those look like HFS paths with the colons 
translated to slashes, which is just wrong.  Absolute POSIX paths 
start with a slash, and don't contain the disk name unless they route
through "/Volumes" first.

prefixing "/Volumes/" provided the definitive solution; having edited the log:

File ³FavoriteDefs.prf²: different creation date/time (src: 26/5/2004 23:20:1, dest: 26/2/2004 10:00:0), path: ³mitchX/Applications/Graphisoft/ArchiCAD 8.1 folder/FavoriteDefs.prf².

to

mitchX/Applications/Graphisoft/ArchiCAD 8.1 folder/FavoriteDefs.prf

prefixed

set thisItem to  "/Volumes/mitchX/Applications/Graphisoft/ArchiCAD 8.1 folder/FavoriteDefs.prf"

then

        set UNIXcommand to "touch -acfm " & quoted form of thisItem
        do shell script UNIXcommand

thanks for assistance
