As Dermot says, im not sure about that time/date expression of yours, so please post the date format.
I tested this code and it works just fine on my linux box, i guess you have to change the shebang. Both in my and your code.
This will delete all files with extention log, txt or date/time.
Update: added unless{} to not touch files that start with "." (didn't know they where allowed in windows ;)
