Oops, forgot to address this point. It would be interesting to see what 
the creation date is on the USB stick, before the transfer. I wonder if 
something about USB is munging the date somehow when the file is copied 
(I think you suspected this too at some point.) After you've copied the 
file to the hard drive, does the creation date listed in the properties 
dialog on XP match the unusual year as well?
