-newer returning old results

[Kai Hendry]

I have a script that uses find and -newer, however everytime it's
invoked it returns the same selected old results. For the most part it
works, but for example the particular old contents of
"/home/hendry/static.natalian.org/2009-01-05/" are returned. How can
this be explained?

Many thanks,
