Well, after thinking about this and watching the code, I thought, oh 
clearly my entry is wrong:

hobbit-clients.cfg: FILE %.*SNMP_COMMUNITY.public.nxg21:TEST.* yellow 
mtime>100

At first  I thought,  oh I forgot to encase the regex in double quotes, 
but then I could see this NOT being matched as I traced the code and 
thought clearly it should be:

hobbit-clients.cfg: FILE /export/home/nmsbb/client/tmp/TEST

But of course that is the link and not the actual file.  The file is:

/export/home/netx/Archive/nxg21/nxg21:TEST/mci-nornxdb06.SNMP_COMMUNITY.public.nxg21:TEST.2006May16.Z

This output is around line 1931 (off because of debugging lines).  I no 
longer have the energy to trace this further, but since it appears none 
of our mtime checks work, I can only guess because these tests fail 
because rwalk->rule.fcheck.minmtimedif = 0.  I am not sure any of the 
max or min mtime tests work, but I give up, for all I know it could be 
my fault.  I have certainly stared out it long enough to get  confused.

2006-05-18 18:52:46 Checking mtime MIN for file: 
/export/home/nmsbb/client/tmp/TEST
2006-05-18 18:52:46 FAILED mtime MIN for file: 
/export/home/nmsbb/client/tmp/TEST
2006-05-18 18:52:46     mtimedif [232491] < 
rwalk->rule.fcheck.minmtimedif [0]
2006-05-18 18:52:46 FAILED mtime MAX for file: 
/export/home/nmsbb/client/tmp/TEST

Do the mtime tests work for the target files of links?  Not that we can 
get it to work for a simple file.
