[Samba] failed to set times with rsync or smbclient

hi,
When copying a file to a cifs mounted share, the times are not preserved 
when I use "rsync -a" or smbclient.

It is not a problem of rights on the target directory, because the same copy
works with "scp" or "cp -p", and the times are then preserved. Even
the command "touch -r source_file target_file" works.

This looks like a bug, but I'd like to know whether anybody has an explanation 
about this difference of behaviour.
