The message is produced when the file modify time is NEWER than the
time of last save.
I almost sure that the clock of the NAS is wrong (it's time is in
the future). It can be easily checked by doing `touch' from the AIX
machine and checking the file time by `ls'. Something like:
touch /tmp/aix-file /NAS/nas-file
ls -l /tmp/aix-file /NAS/nas-file
