That seems a bit over-simplified.  I think most folks would be
surprised when whole directory trees suddenly got moved to the
archive even though files within those trees had changed recently.

At *least* give them this:

find /myvolume -type f -mtime +10 -exec mv {} /myarchive \;


Then we should probably at least mention that find can be a real
problem in AFS space due to the possibility of volume mounting loops.
Since *users* can make volume mount points, this is actually quite
likely.  You'll need to build a custom find executable which
understands AFS mount points and keeps track of which volumes it's
already traversed.
