If I do a "cp -a" to a NFS volume, the resulting files have the current

Current options in fstab: defaults,owner,rw,user,auto,hard,intr,exec
This is the way cp is supposed to work. to preserve the time stamp
see the man
page on cp and look for the option --preserve
No, the man page says -a preserves timestamps, but it's not.

Hmm.. looks like I could have read more closely that cp -a is the same
as -dpR. Did you try specifying the --preserve anyway?
I tested it locally and it behaves as expected. Perhaps you could try
rcp or scp?
