I have found I can run it manually, but it doesn't detect that the files are
newer than the user last login date.
FindFirst (Root + PreFix + '*.*', 63);
While DosError = 0 Do Begin
If DirTime > UserLastOn And Upper(Copy(DirName, 1, Pos('.', DirName) - 1)) <

InStr := Copy(DirName, 7, Pos('.', DirName) - 7) + ' '
Is there a way to print the "DirTime"? I'm not too familiar with Python, but I
suspect this is where things are going wrong. The DirTime and UserLastOn are
not what they are expected to be.
