It is not completely correct. You have to have per-mountpoint function (ioctl) which allows you to pass pre-parsed timezone data into kernel. Server uses its own local time, not yours. Although usually they are same, currently I have mounted three ncpfs volumes, from different timezones. Timestamps are wrong on all that filesystems, as expected... I will not accept any timestamp patch to ncpfs except one which correctly handles files created in past/future too, because of although current situation is not perfect, it is how things works for some years now...
