You are, of course, correct: the files we not sufficiently old to be older
than the MinimumFileAge (default:
21600 seconds, 6 hours).

The default of 6 hours sure seems high from my perspective, given the
"locality" of data: in the worst case scenario, do you really want to lose
6 hours of work? Would you consider lowering that value to 30 minutes or
so, or where does the 6h value come from?

In any case, does this refer to the modified, accessed, or changed time
[1]?
