How to clean 3 days before files, from a directory?

I have a Solaris System. I am using bash shell.
I want to prepare a script which can do the below.
There are few directories i need to clean.
In those directories, I need to delete files which are older than 3 days. 3 days before files need to be deleted.
The directories are as follows.
CC1,CC2,Int.
The file format inside are(there are many files in the CC1 and CC2 directories)
tmp/test/CC1(dir)-A20140107.2355-0000_jak_file(there are files for every 5 min interval in this format)
A20140107.2355-0000_jak_test(there are files for every 5 min interval in this format)

/tmp/test/CC2(dir)-A20140107.2355-0000_jak_file(there are files for every 5 min interval in this format)
A20140107.2355-0000_jak_test(there are files for every 5 min interval in this format)

/tmp/file/Int(dir)-Int-CC1-20140107.csv
Int-CC2-20140107.csv

I have prepared something like this.. Tell me to what extent this will work??

Code:

#! /usr/bin/bash
find /tmp/test/CC1* -mtime +3 -exec rm {} \;
find /tmp/test/CC2* -mtime +3 -exec rm {} \;
find /tmp/file/Int* -mtime +3 -exec rm {} \;

But somehow i am not quite satisfied with this..
Need your expert opinion..

dh_movefiles

DH_MOVEFILES(1) 						     Debhelper							   DH_MOVEFILES(1)

NAME

       dh_movefiles - move files out of debian/tmp into subpackages

SYNOPSIS

       dh_movefiles [debhelperoptions] [--sourcedir=dir] [-Xitem] [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_movefiles is a debhelper program that is responsible for moving files out of debian/tmp or some other directory and into other package
       build directories. This may be useful if your package has a Makefile that installs everything into debian/tmp, and you need to break that
       up into subpackages.

       Note: dh_install is a much better program, and you are recommended to use it instead of dh_movefiles.

FILES

       debian/package.files
	   Lists the files to be moved into a package, separated by whitespace. The filenames listed should be relative to debian/tmp/. You can
	   also list directory names, and the whole directory will be moved.

OPTIONS

       --sourcedir=dir
	   Instead of moving files out of debian/tmp (the default), this option makes it move files out of some other directory. Since the entire
	   contents of the sourcedir is moved, specifying something like --sourcedir=/ is very unsafe, so to prevent mistakes, the sourcedir must
	   be a relative filename; it cannot begin with a `/'.

       -Xitem, --exclude=item
	   Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being installed.

       file ...
	   Lists files to move. The filenames listed should be relative to debian/tmp/. You can also list directory names, and the whole directory
	   will be moved. It is an error to list files here unless you use -p, -i, or -a to tell dh_movefiles which subpackage to put them in.

NOTES

       Note that files are always moved out of debian/tmp by default (even if you have instructed debhelper to use a compatibility level higher
       than one, which does not otherwise use debian/tmp for anything at all). The idea behind this is that the package that is being built can be
       told to install into debian/tmp, and then files can be moved by dh_movefiles from that directory. Any files or directories that remain are
       ignored, and get deleted by dh_clean later.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
