i also got a problem with the
i can’t change the creation date with the ‘-t’ parameter, only if i set it back to past. thats very unhandy.

the function ’setfile’ is much better. its very easy to change the both (creation & modification) dates to whatever you want (future or past).

in example:
to change the creation date:

- mask
setfile -d “mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm” path
- your 21th birthday
setfile -d “01/12/2008 00:00″ /Volumes/Mac\ HD/Pictures/somefile.jpg

to change the modification date:
- mask
setfile -m “mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm” path
- your 21th birthday
setfile -m “01/12/2008 00:00″ /Volumes/Mac\ HD/Pictures/somefile.jpg

greetings,
jonas
