This makes no sense. The timestamp on a directory will change when the contents of the directory changes (such as when a file is created inside that directory or when a file is removed from the directory); not when the contents of a file in the directory changes.

Assuming that you have determined the name of the file that you want, saved that file's name in a variable named filename, and that that file name only appears in one directory, you could try something like:

Code:
pathname=$(ls */$filename)
cd ${pathname%/*}
