ROBOCOPY "G:\Depot" "\\WAP-NAS\OLD_FILES\Depot" /E /COPY:DATSOU /MOVE /MINLAD:730

ROBOCOPY "G:\Depot" "\\WAP-NAS\OLD_FILES\Depot" /E /COPY:DATSOU /MOVE /MINLAD:20071026

This is the command line I am attempting to use to move any files that have not been ACCESSED in the last two years to another folder, maintaining the ACL (security/auditing) information.

When I run it , however, it seems to copy ALL files, even those acessed within the last two years. It doesn't matter if I use the first parameter in days, or the second version in the date format.

Not only that, it also appears that ROBOCOPY updates the "Accessed:" date to the current date in the source folder, thereby ruining the opportunity to run future runs as the files age.

Can anyone help? Or am I just holding my tongue wrong?
