That's correct. You need to use a script or some manual method to add 
and populate a time attribute in the DBF of the tileindex that was 
created with gdaltindex.

I do not have an example, but you can read more about this approach here:
http://mapserver.org/ogc/wcs_server.html#spatio-temporal-indexes

It may be easier to fill in the time attributes if you use a PostGIS 
table instead of a shapefile as the tileindex. There is an example of 
the corresponding layer definitions here:
