You're doing nothing wrong, its just that since 0.32 the author selector
doesn't have implicit wildcarding anymore. Newer author certs from
Richard have the contents

"Richard Levitte <address@hidden>"

while older ones are set to

"address@hidden"

So, if you just do

$ mtn select "address@hidden"

this will succeed and give you all revs with these old certs, while

$ mtn select "address@hidden/2007-11"

returns nothing, because it doesn't match his new author cert exactly.

You should succeed with the following:

$ mtn select "address@hidden/2007-11"

or simply

$ mtn select "*richard*/2007-11"
