The description of mtime is as follows:

to check if a file was updated within the past 10 minutes (600 seconds):
mtime<600.
Also, I'm prefectly OK with the possiblity that this is a documentation issue.  
If the functionality doesn't match the documentation, it's always easier to 
change the doc.  :)
I'm open to suggestions :-)

Anyway, the thing about these FILE rules is that the rules describe
criteria that must be met - only when they are met will the status be
green.

So "mtime<600" means "the difference between current time and the mtime
of the file must be less than 600 seconds - if not, the file status will
go red".
