This may be way off the mark here but there are a couple of things on a linux
system that occur with files and dates that wouldn't cause the same problems
on another OS.

If the segments you received are archived or actually just been resubmitted
without change there is a possibility that the filedate on that segment will
revert to the original date once it hits the linux system. Which could put
some segments in there with old dates. Also, I doubt any of segments would
come in archived using arc as an archiver, but if they do, the standard
arc/unarc for linux will unarchive these and give the files a date of 1st Jan
1970 regardless of what date the files really are.


Cheers,
                Rick
