I'm using RH7.3 (with all the latest).  I have a directory with several
temporary subdirectories that I'd like to clean up.

find /home/worktmp -type d -mtime 4 | xargs rm -rf

(whole bunches of tmp1, tmp2, tmp3 directories there).

I only want to delete the directories if the last modified time is 4 days
old in this example.  Well, this doesn't work.  When I was testing last
night there were directories with modify times from August this year...

I cleaned it up using tmpwatch, but this is going to kill files in the
directories regardless of the directory last modified time, I only want to
delete all files and the directory when all files are older than x days.

Anybody have suggestions?  From what I can tell the -mtime should work, but
it simply does not (or I'm using it totally wrong ;-)
