OK, I got it to list the file creation time for a single file in ImageJ Macroscript...
How to list the relative creation times for a bunch of files...to pipe to the TimeStamper?
Is there a GetFileDates command?
// OpenDialog Demo
//
// This macro demonstrates how do use the
// File.openDialog() macro function.
path = File.openDialog("Select a File");
//open(path); // open the file
dir = File.getParent(path);
name = File.getName(path);
lastmod2 = File.lastModified(path);
print("LastMod", lastmod2);
print("Path:", path);
print("Name:", name);
print("Directory:", dir);
list = getFileList(dir);
print("Directory contains "+list.length+" files");
// Display info about the files
list = getFileList(dir);
for (i=0; i<list.length; i++)
print(list[i]+": "+File.lastModified(list[i]));
Ethan.

Here is an example macro that opens a series of images and displays the modification date for each file:
dir = getDirectory("home")+"images"+File.separator;
run("Image Sequence...", "open=&dir sort");
for (i=1; i<=nSlices; i++) {
setSlice(i);
name = getMetadata("label");
date = File.dateLastModified(dir+name);
words = split(date, ": ");
hour = parseInt(words[3]);
min = parseInt(words[4]);
sec = parseInt(words[5]);
print(name, hour, min, sec);
}
