Thanks for all the suggestions. I feel like I have a few choices to
follow at this point.
One that was not noted here, but I tested after sleeping on the issue
a bit, was to use Automator. An automator application that has just
one action in it (the script I am trying to run) also seems to hold
the time stamp.
Now I just have to choose which solution seems the easiest to deal
with :).

That still has the same problem as David's original shell solution -
when run as a compiled script, the auto-save at the end undoes the
work. Every time you run a compiled script its mtime gets reset to
now.
It stays the time set by the script on my system, and does not
revert to the present.
I'm running Leopard 10.5.1
