Always a lot of 'has different attributes to store file' messages when comparing

Description

When I compare my local files to the store (compare -a) I get a lot of messages saying: Local file 'xxxx' has different attributes to store file 'xxxx'.

The problem is that it clutters the view from 'real' errors (different contents) and that the problem is never solved. Box Backup won't update the different attributes to those files ever if the timestamp is not changed. BTW I have not checked that the attributes are updated if the timestamp is changed, so maybe the attributes are never updated and only stored on initial upload.

Seems to have been caused by some program changing the file creation times without changing the other attributes. This caused attribute comparison to fail, but did not cause an attribute hash mismatch that would trigger the attributes to be uploaded again, until [2633].

Only applies to Windows, as this time doesn't exist (or is not supported) on other platforms. Reported fixed by [2633], although since this changes the hashes for all files, we can't be sure until the creation times change again.
