Thanks for the reply. Both machines are set to the same time zone but they do have different date formats. Would that do it?

The following sample snippet is from a syncronizing script between a folder on my hard drive and a network drive.

	get modification date of alias "LocalDrive:mpn1.htm"
		date "Wednesday, October 4, 2006 3:15:00 AM"
	get modification date of alias "RemoteDrive:mpn1.htm"
		date "Wednesday, October 4, 2006 3:15:00 AM"

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.
