You haven't said what you need that for, but i suppose you want to process "incoming" files somehow and want to prevent processing them twice.

In this case, wouldn't it be easier to move the files once they are processed? You wouldn't need to diddle with time stamps and complicated calculations and could adapt something like the following (sketch)

Two directories: /some/where/incoming and /some/where/processed, files go into "incoming"

Code:
while : ; do
     ls /some/where/incoming | while read FILE ; do
          process_file $FILE
          mv $FILE /some/where/processed
     done
     sleep 5
done

I hope this helps.
