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.
