Sorry to reply to myself, but I looked into the -mmin +480 parameter
and apparently the command won't clean up a session unless it has been
inactive for 8 hours.  I changed the parameters to -mmin +2940 so they
won't be cleaned up unless inactive for 49 hours.  That should give
SessionExpire a chance to kick in first at 48 hours.

Does that seem OK?  I'm still wondering about switching from files to
a real DB for sessions.
