I did a man find, and thunked back a few hours. Ooops. I had looked at 
that directory with Nautilus. Even though only some of the files showed 
in the viewing window, they were all touched.

So to start I did a -mtime +30 and took the directory down to ~1700 
files. Now I will set up a cron with the -atime +30 and be good, and not 
look into the directory with Nautilus.
