in reply to stat on find output

What OS is this? What file system is mounted on /sasdata? Does it support atime?

Update: kennethk is probably right and the problem is in the line endings, still I don't understand why you're getting 31-12-1969, for me it gives 01-01-1970:

$ perl -e'printf "%02d-%02d-%02d\n", (localtime(undef))[5,4,3]' 70-00-01
