I guess that none of your reports has a "Date Required:" field set.
In this case, the UNIX "epoch" seems to be displayed (that is,
Jan 01, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT = Dec 31, 1969, 20:00:00 in your current
timezone).
Try this:
1) Edit/view one of the reports and check what is in that field.
2) Create a test report with that field set (let's assume, to July 01,
2003--you may need to write it as "2003-07-01"), and place it into a
category that has only a few reports in it ("pending" may be a good
choice). Search this category with some variations of "Required
Before" (and/or "Required After") that either include or exclude that
report (e.g., "Required Before: 2003-06-01", "Required Before:
2003-08-01"--the former should exclude the test report, the latter
should include it).

Once more, this sounds like none of your reports specifies a "Date
Required" field. To make absolutely sure, cd to the directory of
your database, and run this command:
fgrep Required: */*
Note that the "Date Required" field is not a required field; I think
that in 3.1xx, it was only present when some compile-time option was
selected.
If you need more info, please also tell us which version of GNATS and
Gnatsweb you are using, as a lot has changed with the 4.0pre versions
(not much in the format of the reports, though).
