Files.setLastModifiedTime doesn't work

[Michael Hall]

I just posted on this to the nio.2 discuss list but I don't always seem to get through there. Maybe sending from a mail account other than the one I subscribed on.
Anyhow I can't seem to get Files.setLastModifiedTime to work.
The code 

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.nio.file.attribute.FileTime;

public class TestTime {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
//		File filefsp = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir"),"basic");
		Path filefspPath = Paths.get(System.getProperty("user.dir"),"basic");
		System.out.println("path is " + filefspPath);
		FileTime ft = FileTime.fromMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
		try {
			Files.setLastModifiedTime(filefspPath,ft);
		}
		catch (IOException ioex) { ioex.printStackTrace(); }
//		System.out.println(filefsp.setLastModified(System.currentTimeMillis()));		
	}
	
}

The File.setLastModified in the last println did work.
Originally I was testing with a directory but the current version is with a text file. Neither worked.
The javadoc example is...

    Path path = ...
    FileTime now = FileTime.fromMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
    Files.setLastModifiedTime(path, now);
I'm not that far from it.  But I suppose I could still be doing something not quite right?
