[rules-users] Low Date question in drools

I have a simple rule where I want to bypass elements that have a low date but drools seems to be interpreting the date different then I am expecting. Drools statement and error follows: ClientSupplement ( dateOfBirth : dateOfBirth != null && != 0001-01-01) throws error -- Error: [Error: badly formatted number: For input string: "001-01-01"] [Near : {... 0001-01-01 ....}] ^ [Line: 1, Column: 1] How do I get drools to understand this low date? I have tried single, double, and no quotes around the low date and all result in a similiar error message.
