I can't understand ports-mgmt/portupgrade flags

Good day!
I have a question about ports-mgmt/portupgrade. For example I want to reinstall all ports which installed before some date:
# portupgrade -frk dbus-1.4.14_4 yakuake-kde4-2.9.8_3 -x '>2013-02-09'
And after that command ends (all ports reinstalled), if I run it again it once again tries to reinstall all ports.
What I do wrong?
 
Thanks for answer!
But I read portupgrade(1) and it has that example:
Code: 
    o   Rebuild and reinstall all the dependent packages of png that were
         installed prior to png:

               portupgrade -fr png -x '>=png'

         You may use a package to specify a date.
It seems like my command.
 
And it will rebuild everything that depends on png (except png itself) every time you start it.
 
I.e -x flag can exclude described as argument package, but not packages by equation?
And what means:
Rebuild and reinstall all the dependent packages of png that were
installed prior to png:
Click to expand...
isn't it means that will be reinstalled all packages which install date less than install date of png package?
And
You may use a package to specify a date.
Click to expand...
 
I want reinstall needed ports with dependencies. But some dependencies not reinstalls/upgrades beause of some errors/problems and I see it only after all procedure ends.
After that I'm something correct for not reinstalled dependencies and I want reinstall again such ports with dependencies but to not wait of reinstalling all dependencies which at previous step installs fine, I want run portupgrade with equation which will exclude all ports installed before or after specified date.
And it is not work, but in example from man portupgrade I see similar equation with (I think, maybe I wrong) needed for me target.
 
Do not use -k. That is probably what caused the problems. If an error happens, it should halt.

-f means "install dependencies even when they seem to already be the latest version". -fr port means "reinstall port and everything that depends on it".
