Would you be so kind as to furnish that information?

Can you produce a *small* example that shows this? Try this:
date -R > date1.txt
ls -d --full-time date1.txt
cp -p date1.txt ~/iPodderData/downloads/'KFI Tech Guy'/
ls -d --full-time ~/iPodderData/downloads/'KFI Tech Guy'/date1.txt
date -R > date2.txt
ls -d --full-time date2.txt
mv date2.txt ~/iPodderData/downloads/'KFI Tech Guy'/
ls -d --full-time ~/iPodderData/downloads/'KFI Tech Guy'/date2.txt
What output is produced?
