Time offset

Hello..

I'm having some trouble with touch 4.1. It seems that when in a certain
directory, touching a file sets the file timestamp to the time five
minutes ago (with no arguments). This doesn't happen all the time
though, only in some directories. To illustrate the problem, consider
the following:

arnarb@kassi:~/workdir/stmvefur/sql$ touch --version
touch (fileutils) 4.1

arnarb@kassi:~/workdir/stmvefur/sql$ ll foo       
-rw-r--r--    1 arnarb   users           0 Apr 26 17:04 foo
arnarb@kassi:~/workdir/stmvefur/sql$ date && touch foo && ll foo

arnarb@kassi:~/workdir/stmvefur/sql$ pushd /tmp
/tmp ~/workdir/stmvefur/sql
arnarb@kassi:/tmp$ ll foo
-rw-r--r--    1 arnarb   users           0 Apr 26 16:44 foo
arnarb@kassi:/tmp$ date && touch foo && ll foo
Sat Apr 26 18:33:43 GMT 2003
-rw-r--r--    1 arnarb   users           0 Apr 26 18:33 foo
arnarb@kassi:/tmp$ popd
~/workdir/stmvefur/sql
arnarb@kassi:~/workdir/stmvefur/sql$ 

Touch works correctly when under /tmp, but in ~/workdir/stmvefur/sql it
sets the time incorrectly.

Following is my environment, if theres anything there that I didn't spot
