Hi (again):

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you expect. If you read or execute a file, the lastaccess timestamp ('mtime' as reported by 'ls -ul') is updated to reflect that.

Some backup utilities will reset the lastaccess timestamp to what it was before the backup (copy/read), but otherwise, the above applies.
