incorrect timestamps on files using webdrive

Hello,
I've discovered a conflict between the cygwin b20.1 bash shell and a
program called webdrive which lets you map a drive letter to an FTP site
(http://www.riverfrontsoftware.com/ for more info)
the problem has to do with the file's timestamp. when I do a dos DIR on
the drive (j:) which I mapped using web drive I get the files with their
correct dates
for example:
..> dir j:
results in
3/08/00 11:27 297 test.html
However, the unix command in the bash shell
..> ls -la j:
results in:
-rw-r--r-- 1 0 everyone 297 Apr 22 2009 test.html
as you can see the date has been transformed to 9 years into the future.
Obviously this is some problem with the webdrive software. I emailed the
developer but he doesn't use cygwin. I was wondering if someone here knew
what part of the file attributes the unix commands look at (it seems to be
different than dos)? I would like to tell the developer so he can fix
this problem since it effects all cygnus derived software (e.g in perl
when I ask for a files timestamp it too is 9 years into the future)
thanks
vince
