Now I know that there is no deletetimetype=time qualifier, but, maybe the problem is it cannot compare 01:31:25 to 02:35:25.

[time] is not comparable in the way you are trying to compare it. I see that you specified deletedatetype=date, but there is no specification for the deletetime. Now I know that there is no deletetimetype=time qualifier, but, maybe the problem is it cannot compare 01:31:25 to 02:35:25.
