    (setq dired-move-to-filename-regexp "^ *[^ ]+ +[^ ]+ +[^ ]+ +[^ ]+ +[^ ]+ +[^ ]+ +[^ ]+ +[^ ]+ +")

That works by counting whitespace regions.  I think I saw cases long
ago where that would not work, which is why I did not use it.
I don't remember what the case was; perhaps it was user names with
spaces in them, or perhaps it was locales that altered the number
of spaces in the date.
