+FSGetCatalogInfo and FSSetCatalogInfo allow you to get and set the
+FSCatalogInfo structure which contains:
+
+UTCDateTime createDate;
+UTCDateTime contentModDate;
+UTCDateTime accessDate;
+(there are some other dates but none that .NET would support)
+
+In Apple's documentation they state "Note that file systems other than
+AFP, HFS and HFS Plus do not generally support creation dates".  That
+may be why the man pages report as they do.  The default file system
+is most likely going to be HFS Plus which does support creation dates.
