The mtime on both DBDatastore and DBDatastoreInfo can be nil, per the documentation:

The last modified time for this datastore, or nil if no data has been synced yet.

Also, are you sure you're looking at the same datastore in your output here? That is, store.mtime, is referring to a specific datastore, but store.manager.listDatastoreInfo(nil).select... seems to be looking for any DBDatastoreInfo where mtime is nil.
