What are the ownerships of the unremoved directories?

Also, were the directories themselves not at least a week old?

Perhaps a bug is lurking.

If I am the Puppet pattern-applicator and I remove the files first, the 
directory file is updated and will fail the age test if that calculation is not 
done before the file removes in that directory.

I don't know if the pattern-applicator is prone to that. 

You might want to run a simple
bare-bones test to check it or perhaps the designers can speak to that point.
