Thing is the date on both machines was correctly October 3 about 10
PM, the files on the remote drive were definitely older by that
point but by the above comparison, of course, the backup process
would not proceed. I have had this happen before in Panther and now
Tiger several times. Sometimes a restart fixes things. Is this a bug
in AS?
More likely, it's a disagreement on time zones. AppleScript date
objects don't have an explicit time zone, so things can get a little
weird when you're talking to different machines. See if one of them
got reset to GMT.
