-atime not working as expected

I need to sort through a volume that contains video files by access time and delete files that have not been accessed over x days. I have to use the access time as video files are originals that do not get modified, just read

Testing commands on a local test folder...
Code:
$ date
Wed Sep 28 12:46:05 MDT 2011
$ cd ~/Desktop/unixtests01/
$ ls -l
total 32
-rw-r--r--  1 shoei  shoei  1788 Aug 31 09:46 newlist.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 shoei  shoei     6 Aug 31 09:31 simpletext.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 shoei  shoei    11 Aug 31 09:32 simpletext2.txt
-rw-r--r--@ 1 shoei  shoei  24 Sep 13 16:43 /Users/shoei/Desktop/unixtests01//simpletext3.txt
$ find . -type f -atime -20 -exec ls -ltr {} \;
-rw-r--r--  1 shoei  shoei  1788 Aug 31 09:46 /Users/shoei/Desktop/unixtests01//newlist.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 shoei  shoei  6 Aug 31 09:31 /Users/shoei/Desktop/unixtests01//simpletext.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 shoei  shoei  11 Aug 31 09:32 /Users/shoei/Desktop/unixtests01//simpletext2.txt
-rw-r--r--@ 1 shoei  shoei  24 Sep 13 16:43 /Users/shoei/Desktop/unixtests01//simpletext3.txt
$ find . -type f -atime +20 -exec ls -ltr {} \;
$

it would seem that simpletext3 would be in the -20 category, while the others would be in the +20. ???

Desktop::Notify::Notification(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			Desktop::Notify::Notification(3pm)

NAME
Desktop::Notify::Notification - a notification object for the desktop notifications framework VERSION
Version 0.03 SYNOPSIS
# $notify is an existing Desktop::Notify object my $note = $notify->create(summary => 'Rebuilding FooBar', body => 'Progress: 10%'); $note->show; ... # Update the notification later $note->body('Progress: 20%'); $note->show; ... # Take it off the screen $note->close; DESCRIPTION
Desktop notification objects are represented as objects of this class. They are created by a Desktop::Notify object. Displaying, closing, and modifying the notification is done by using methods in this class. METHODS
new $notify, %params This is called internally by Desktop::Notify to create a new notification object. show Display the notification on the screen. If this notification had previously been shown and not closed yet, it will replace the existing notification. Show can be called multiple times on the same notification, probably with attribute changes between calls, and later show calls will cause the server to seamlessly replace the existing notification. close Close the notification if it is already being displayed. ATTRIBUTES
The following parameters can be set when creating the object or later modified using accessors (descriptions are from the specification at <http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/x408.html>) summary The summary text briefly describing the notification. body The optional detailed body text. Can be empty. timeout The timeout time in milliseconds since the display of the notification at which the notification should automatically close. If -1, the notification's expiration time is dependent on the notification server's settings, and may vary for the type of notification. If 0, never expire. The following extra parameters are included in the specification but not supported by Desktop::Notify at this time app_icon The optional program icon of the calling application. actions Actions are sent over as a list of pairs. Each even element in the list (starting at index 0) represents the identifier for the action. Each odd element in the list is the localized string that will be displayed to the user. hints Optional hints that can be passed to the server from the client program. perl v5.10.1 2009-12-25 Desktop::Notify::Notification(3pm)
