Have you checked "ls -ltr" on this directory to make sure other files are indeed dated more than 24 hrs beyond the time this command ran? You may want to include that in your script so you can validate what's going on.
But if you only want the most recent copy, you could use:
% ls -1 $EXPORT_DIR | grep -v "`ls -ltr $EXPORT_DIR | tail -1 | awk '{print $9}'`" | xargs -i rm {}
That says for all files in $EXPORT_DIR, remove all except the most recent one.

Subject: mtime removing exports Linux
I only want to keep one copy of an export on the server. I have got this in a script on a Linux RHEL5 server. It saves 3 days though instead of 1 and even if I put mtime 0 it still saves more than one. What is wrong with it?
find $EXPORT_DIR -name "*" -mtime +1 -exec rm -rf {} \; > /dev/null
