Yep. In summary:

1) Create any file in pvfs2 filesystem.
2) ls -l the file  =>  consistent but erroneous timestamp (Jan 1970)
3) 'touch' the file  =>  different but erroneous timestamp (another day 
in Jan 1970)
4) umount pvfs2,  mount pvfs2  =>  same 1970 timestamp
5) umount, kill pvfs2-client, start pvfs2-client, mount pvfs2  =>  
correct timestamp (i.e. last 'touch' time)
