Possibly you're suffering from this problem, noted in tests/chgrp/basic:
# The following no-change chgrp command is supposed to update f's ctime,
# but on OpenBSD, it appears to be a no-op for some file system types
# (at least NFS) so g's ctime is more recent. This is not a big deal;
# this test works fine when the files are on a local file system (/tmp).
For what it's worth, I couldn't reproduce your problem on OpenBSD 3.4
x86. I tried with the coreutils source on an NFS directory (exported
from Solaris 8) and on a local directory.
However, the problem has been reported on MacOS X hosts, e.g.:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00056.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-10/msg00005.html
This problem comes up often enough (i.e., buggy operating systems)
that perhaps we should simply disable the test?
