I also added the 7 day old option to cron (http://lists4.suse.de/opensuse/2007-05/msg02714.html), but nothing seems to be happening.

AFAIK, that option is used only at boot time: Did you make sure there actually are files that have not been accessed for a week? Try ls -lu. Moreover, there is another variable, OWNER_TO_KEEP_IN_TMP. Files belonging to users in that list are exempt from deletion. A.
