All I know is your program is guilty of conspiracy to wear out people's
USB flash cards.
If FAT is detected, just run source and destination times thru a chopper like
$ m=$(date +%s); echo -n $m--\>; expr $m / 2 \* 2
1207175575-->1207175574
and cp -u will never blow it again, innocent of any future charges.

Different filesystems have different time granularities. Why draw an
artificial line above one second just because it is unfamiliar?
