Isn't this almost a find one-liner?
Something like "find $dir -mount \! -follow -atime 30 -exec rm {} \;"?
I suppose I should go look at the tmpwatch package to see how they do
it... if I can find it. It seems "apt-cache search tmpwatch" isn't
telling me much...

Or lack thereof. Well, lack of quoting indicators by maverick. It
was all making sense up 'till then.
Read $(man tmpwatch) This describes the program.
Read /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch. This is its control file.
Yes you could do it with a find one-liner, but there are some
safeguards built into tmpwatch.
