I want to copy a dir, preserving modes and timestamps but assuming ownership, and I keep getting this error: 

address@hidden daedalus $ cp -r --preserve=mode,timestamps fly fly2
cp: ambiguous argument `' for `--preserve'
Valid arguments are:
  - `mode'
  - `timestamps'
  - `ownership'
  - `links'
  - `all'
Try `cp --help' for more information.


Am I being stupid, or is this a bug? I'm using coreutils-4.5.3.
