Hi Pepo,

>I notice that scour does not delete subdirectories older than

>means all older subdirectories below ~ldm/data/rtstats are kept.

Try removing he '*' from your ~ldm/etc/scour.conf file and running
scour by hand.

The other possibility is that the timestamps on the subdirectories are
not really two days old.  Please do a long listing of the
subdirectories to verify that they and their contents are really as old
as you think.

Finally, the long listing will reaffirm who the owner of those
subdirectories is.  If 'ldm' doesn't own them or if the group of the
owner is not the same as the group for 'ldm', you may not have
permission to delete the directories.

Cheers,

Tom
