You are running nwfstime against your Novell server. Do not do that.
It is normal that you'll get times on ncp filesystem wrong, it is not
bug, it is a feature. But ncpfs itself will never touch your system time.

Buy better connectivity between your computer and Netware. I'm sure, that
if you'll look into your log, you'll find 'NCP server not responding...',
eventually together with 'connection lost'.

ncpfs maintainer is me. There is ncpfs specific list linware@sh.cvut.cz.
Just read MAINTAINERS file. If you are running Netware over long distance
wire, you should upgrade to 2.4.0-test13-pre3, ncpfs-2.2.0.19.pre29,
and mount server with '-o tcp'. In that case it will use TCP instead of
UDP or IPX. And as TCP is much more robust against short dropouts than
NCP itself, it will work much better. Also, due to NCP window being
60KB instead of 1KB, you'll get much better throughput.
Linux kernel 2.4.0-test13-pre3 is available through standard kernel.org
mirrors, ncpfs pre is avilable from ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/private/ncpfs.
I do not plan to teach kernel ncpfs about different timezones. If someone
has another opinion... I was talking about this two (or three) years ago,
but it was shot down as unnecessary bloat. So now I know that there is
at least one person which uses Netware server from another timezone.
