Hmmm.. base="item-data products" is an odd idea - you realize that the 
'base' parameter is for the name of the table in which you are doing the 
lookup, correct? 'item-data products' is not a table name.

If you change things around a bit, your evaluation should work:

[if type=scratch term=mytime op=eq compare="[item-field creation_date]"]
         <img src="__IMAGE_DIR__/navigation/new.gif" border="0">
[/if]
