generally, bobobase_modification_time is a low-level timestamp
meaning "this object was modified in the database at this time."
You aren't supposed to muck with it.

You probably want an application-level timestamp, like
DublinCore's modified date.

Are you using zsyncer by any chance? Its reliance on
bobobase_modification_time is really a bit of a kludge.
