You missed my original response where I said "zero pad"?

You are comparing *strings*.

  9 is greater than 1

moseley@bumby:~/swish-e/src$ swish-e -f index.swish-e -w "d*"  -p DATE
ABROGE -s DATE desc -m 1000 -L DATE 0922575600 1048806000
# SWISH format: 2.3.4
# Search words: d*
# Removed stopwords: 
# Number of hits: 1
# Search time: 0.001 seconds
# Run time: 0.029 seconds
1000 1.html "Found me!" 124 "0922575600" ""
.

Also, using -L for that "valid" test is probably not the best way to go.
Make it a metaname and then use

   -w foo and valid=0
