No, it shouldn't do. The only time SyncDiscs deals directly with
directories is if the directory does not exist on one of the paths,
so it will be copied/deleted as a whole. Otherwise, it is the file
attributes of the files within that are compared, not the directory
time stamps.
I assume the 'anomaly' is due to the filer creating directories
before filling them with files. Thus the so-called copied
directory/ies actually have the timestamp corresponding to the time
of their creation.
