Behaviour of "find" command

Hi,

I'm trying to understand why the find command below is not listing a directory which was modified long back from the number of days specified in the mtime part. Smilie

Code:
user-aster :/mydir
$ ls -ld 1607570a-4fed44bb-4988
drwxr-xr-x  3 xyz abc 4096 Jun 29 01:02 1607570a-4fed44bb-4988
user-aster :/mydir
$ find . -type d -mtime +14
./1607570a-4fe95e03-14fb
./1607570a-4fe95e03-14fb/.mdir
user-aster :/mydir
$ uname -a
Linux aster 2.6.9-100.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Feb 1 12:17:32 EST 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

If you see above, the directory "1607570a-4fed44bb-4988" doesn't show up in the find command. Can anyone point out why this is happening?

Thanks in advance.

NAME
pclock - pixmap clock SYNOPSIS
pclock [options] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the pclock command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. pclock is a program that places a small analog clock program on the desktop of X. It was designed to run under the WindowMaker window man- ager. It uses any 64x64 pixmap as a background. OPTIONS
The programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-') and short optoins starting with one dash. A summary of options is included below. -B PIXMAP, --background=PIXMAP Use the given pixmap as the clock background (size must be 64x64). -H COLOR, --hands-color=COLOR Draw the hands (hour, minute and second) in the specified color. -S COLOR, --second-hand-color Draw the second hand in the specified color -h, --help Show summary of options. --hour-hand-length=INT Draw the hour hand with the specified length of INT. --minute-hand-length=INT Draw the minute hand with the specified length of INT. --second-hand-length=INT Draw the second hand with the specified length of INT. --second-hand-width=INT Draw the minute hand with the specified width of INT. -s, --second-hand Don't display the second hand. -v, --version Show version of program. -w, --withdrawn Don't start up in a withdrawn (iconic) state.
