The volume creation date is incorrect; it appears blank ("--") on Mac OS X 
10.4.11
with profuse r3.

The volume modification date is also incorrect. It seems like the modification 
date
is related to the modification date of the disk image file (same date, different
time), not the volume contained inside it.

e.g. Disk image of a volume has the following dates:

Created: 21 Apr 1991, 12:31 AM
Modified: 28 Dec 1995, 11:28 PM

Disk Image File (DiskCopy 6) itself has the following dates:

Created: 5 Aug 2001, 4:11 PM
Modified: 5 Aug 2001, 4:26 PM

When mounted in the Finder by profuse r3, it has these dates:

For a more reproducable example, I tried the "test.dmg" file, with the 
following results:

"test" volume in GS 6.0.1 Finder:

Created: 1 Mar 1998, 8:35 PM
Modified: 25 Jan 2009, 3:23 PM

Disk Image File ("test.dmg") in Mac OS X 10.4.11 Finder:

Created: 26 April 2009, 1:38 PM
Modified: 26 April 2009, 1:38 PM

"test" volume in Mac OS X 10.4.11 Finder with profuse r3:

Created: --
Modified: 25 Jan 2009, 3:23 PM

This mounted DMG file displays the correct Modification date. The creation date 
is
still blank, though.

As a further test, I made a duplicate of "test.dmg", modified data on it 
(duplicated
a file on the disk image) and again compared the volume modifications dates (ie.
'now'). This time, the Mac modification date is 1 hour in the future. This 
seems to
suggest perhaps a time zone miscalculation error.

From the terminal, the correct creation date is displayed:

dr-xr-xr-x   7 root    wheel   512 Mar  1  1998 test/

(That's true of all files)

Thanks for checking. How do you display creation dates in Terminal? Unix usually
doesn't handle creation dates - on mine it only shows modification dates.
