This is fixed for text CCK fields, but the date field does not work.
Test case:
*create a cck date field.
*set default value to "today" (or anything else)
*set field permissions for a user to be able to view the field, but forbid editing.
*as this user, create content of this type - you shouldn't see the date CCK field, but theoretically the default value should be written. - but it is not.
the database field is empty.

Unfortunately the Drupal 6 version of the Date module is no longer supported. That said, we appreciate that you took time to work on this issue. Should this request still be relevant for Drupal 7 please feel free to reopen it. Thank you.
