With some versions of find you can use the path option:
Code:
find /home/hary -path '/home/hary/temp/cache/*' \
-prune -o -type f -mtime -1 -print

Otherwise you could use something like this:

Code:
find /home/hary -name cache -exec test {} = /home/hary/temp/cache \; \
-prune -o -type f -mtime -1 -print
