In my tests with OpenLDAP 2.1.8 the filter (modifyTimestamp<=20021108214351Z)
works.
To get the reverse (i.e. >=) you have to use the (|(!(...<=...))(...=...)) 
trick [i.e. (not <=) or = ] since LDAP filters know only <= as ordering 
operator.
You have to keep the Z at the end since the value isn't an integer but a time

Yours
