Is this along the right lines?  I started with 'amin' because it's at
the top of excuses.txt.

   $ pwd
   /home/nick/findutils/find

   $ cat testsuite/find.gnu/amin.exp 

   exec rm -rf tmp.amin
   exec mkdir tmp.amin

   # Touch the files in the setup phase, to make sure sec_since_epoch
   # is as recent as possible.
   proc prep {} {
       set sec_since_epoch [clock seconds]
       for {set i 0} {$i < 10} {incr i} {
           set sec [expr $sec_since_epoch - 60 * $i]
           exec touch address@hidden tmp.amin/min-$i.test
       }
   }
   find_start p { tmp.amin -type f -amin -3 } "" "" prep

   exec rm -rf tmp.amin

   $ cat testsuite/find.gnu/amin.xo
   tmp.amin/min-0.test
   tmp.amin/min-1.test
   tmp.amin/min-2.test

Thanks
