How are you calling mapserver directly?
You need to do something like:
http://host/cgi-bin/mapserv?.....&LASTTWOWEEKS=100916

This worked….
EXPRESSION ([GEO_TIME] > 100916) THIS DRAWS THE CORRECT 5 POINTS ONLY
EXPRESSION ([GEO_TIME] > 090110) THIS DRAWS ALL THE POINTS, WHICH IS
CORRECT… all are > than this date
I then tried WITH NO SUCCESS
EXPRESSION ([GEO_TIME] > '%LASTTWOWEEKS%') nothing
EXPRESSION ([GEO_TIME] > %LASTTWOWEEKS%) nothing
EXPRESSION ([GEO_TIME] > LASTTWOWEEKS) nothing
EXPRESSION ('[GEO_TIME]' > '%LASTTWOWEEKS%') THIS DRAWS ALL THE POINTS
EXPRESSION ('[GEO_TIME]' > %LASTTWOWEEKS%) nothing
EXPRESSION ('[GEO_TIME]' > LASTTWOWEEKS) nothing

First lets get rid of the parameter substitution to make sure we have a
syntax correct. So in your mapfile try:
EXPRESSION ([IncidentDa] > 20100816)
I set this to Aug 16th to see if you can pull any records. Also because
this is numeric, I removed the quotes. You can also try it with quotes
to see what works.
If this works then try:
EXPRESSION ([IncidentDa] > %LASTTWOWEEKS%)
Again without the quotes or with depending on what worked.
