I just set the clock of my machine back to the day before yesterday,
created a file on the USB stick and one on the HD.  Then I copied the
file on the stick to HD and the file on HD to the stick.  Afterwards I
stopped my Cygwin shell, reverted the dat to today, and restarted the
Cygwin shell.  The dates are still the same on stick and HD.

Is $TZ set in your shell, maybe?  Is the HD a locale HD or a remote
share?
