I think we need to find out why we're getting different results. A 
search in bugzilla gives two related bugs, both now fixed:

4293 The detailed files doesn't return correct creation date f...
4474 Detailed Files Always Returns 0 for Last Modified and 000...

The first one involves only files with long file names on OS X. The 
second doesn't match your results (you aren't getting 0, you are getting 
real dates.) But maybe you could read these two and see if either apply 
to your situation.

My own results are correct in both XP and OS X, so I don't know what 
else to say. It would be great if others could do some checking. Maybe 
that would give us a clue what the differences are between your results 
and mine. There isn't much to go on so far.
