Delete log files automatically.

Here is the script I want to run to deleted log files after a certain time:
Code:
touch /usr/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/apps/RSA/logs
find /usr/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/apps/RSA/logs -atime +120 - exec rm -rf {}\;

Exerytime I run it, it throws me the error:
Code:
find: paths must precede expression: -
Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [-Olevel] [-D help|tree|search|stat|rates|opt|exec] [path...] [expression]


What is wrong with this script?
