The -p flag on CpMac does not mean the same thing as the -p flag on cp. Note the fine difference (from man CpMac):
CpMac - copy files preserving metadata and forks

     -p    Causes CpMac to preserve in the copy as many of the modification
           time, access time, file flags, file mode, user ID, and group ID as
           allowed by permissions.
