rsync directory timestamp setting fails under some circumstances

[cwlgerardd]

From http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/wiki/FuseOverAmazon it appears that S3FS should support timestamp modifications.

I am however running into rsync errors stating:
rsync: failed to set times on "/mnt/s3test/hello": No such file or directory (2)
(Where hello is a "directory")

The data within the bucket was created from an Amazon hard drive import with their own internal tools. s3fs-c was needed to be able to see these "directories" as they were invisible for s3fs.

I can use --size-only but would prefer to preserve times as they are relevant for my application. Does anyone have any suggestions which may help?
