The above text doesn't make sense. Is the comments what you are doing or
what the system is doing? If it is what the system is doing, please show
the output of the stat command and how it is doing something unexpected.

Can you show the example of what is wrong, and what you expected to happen.
The above is just a bunch of commands, but does not display anything that
is incorrect.

Yes, please add a test :-)
