BTW, I just tested this and did not observe anything incorrect.
My server is GMT-0600. I tested it with two clients GMT-0600
and GMT+0100. When I look at the time stamps on the files, they
are identical:

Of course, when you look at the times in local time, they are
quite different:

[gary@neptune gary]$ ls -ltr wx_tools
total 48
-rw-rw-r-- 1 gary gary 909 Feb 11 18:19 releaseTool.py
-rw-rw-r-- 1 gary gary 7738 Feb 14 15:44 releaseToolFrame.py
-rw-rw-r-- 1 gary gary 5781 Feb 14 15:44 makeRPMDialog.py
-rw-rw-r-- 1 gary gary 800 Feb 16 16:13 config.py
-rw-rw-r-- 1 gary gary 5972 Feb 25 23:40 runCmdDialog.py
-rw-rw-r-- 1 gary gary 10219 May 31 18:30 makeCustomerReleaseDialog.py
-rw-rw-r-- 1 gary gary 930 Jun 17 17:16 boards.cfg
[gthomas@hermes support_tools]$ ls -ltr wx_tools/

-rw-r--r-- 1 gthomas wheel 909 Feb 11 11:19 releaseTool.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 gthomas wheel 7738 Feb 14 08:44 releaseToolFrame.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 gthomas wheel 5781 Feb 14 08:44 makeRPMDialog.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 gthomas wheel 800 Feb 16 09:13 config.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 gthomas wheel 5972 Feb 25 16:40 runCmdDialog.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 gthomas wheel 10219 May 31 11:30 makeCustomerReleaseDialog.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 gthomas wheel 930 Jun 17 10:16 boards.cfg

Are you sure that what you're seeing is not just the local time
differences? (e.g. 'ls' normally prints using local time)
