Make sure to preserve the file access- and modification times.

This is not good. You loose all the etags of the files which will cause 
effort at the next sync because the client can not decide which files 
changed or not. Yet it will work, but with a lot of downloading.

I think that should be supported by the owncloud console script.
It could rebuild the filecache table by updating the path component and 
calculating the new path_hash.
Maybe that already works? I don't know.
