I've had this problem too, cp was also emitting a warning about utimes:
mph# mount -t smbfs -o-Eiso8859-1:cp850,-f660 //mph@light/e$ /mnt
mph% cp -p INFO /mnt
cp: utimes: /mnt/INFO: Operation not permitted
This was because I wasn't ``owner'' of the files. Adding the -u flag fixed this.
mph# mount -t smbfs -o-Eiso8859-1:cp850,-f660,-umph //mph@light/e$ /mnt
Now my modification time is preserved.
