getting info in finder definitely counts. finder is known to trash the atimes of everything except things you tell it not to scan.

I don't think negative times, which imply modification in the future, are meaningful. Try giving it a positive value.

Also try seeing what the atimes actually are with ls -lu.

On second look I see you have ls -lu in there, in a roundabout way.

Those files were all accessed very, very recently.
