Zoom H2n "file created" dates are WRONG

Question

Zoom H2n (audio files) "file created" dates are 31 December 1969 @1900 unless I DL them to Win7 box and import them.  The time and date is set correctly in the H2n.  The time and date are correct for creation in Win7. It makes the EVENTS fall into December 1969 category in FCP X and I don't seem to be able to change them. Nothing about this is mentioned on the Zoom website.

I know this is a rather old post but this bug is still unfixed so maybe it may help someone.
This is actually a Zoom H2n bug, not a Final Cut one. The problem is that the Zoom sets the file creation dates to 1 january 1970 00:00. However it sets the right file modification date. A quick and dirty workaround I found for this is to use the terminal to fix it:
find /Volumes/H2N_SD -name "*.WAV" -exec fix_zoom_dates.sh "{}" \;
With fix_zoom_dates.sh being a shell script somewhere in your $PATH, containing the following:
#!/bin/bash
SetFile -d "$(GetFileInfo -m $1)" $1
What it does is scanning the whole H2n sd card and setting the file creation date to the file modification date, for every WAV file present. You have to do that every time you want to import something from the Zoom, before opening Final Cut.
Hope this can be helpful.
