Because they don't overlaps.
Example:
test=*# select ('2006-10-01'::date, '2006-10-11'::date) OVERLAPS ('2006-10-11'::DATE, '2006-10-20'::DATE);
overlaps
----------
f
(1 row)
test=*# select ('2006-10-01'::date, '2006-10-12'::date) OVERLAPS ('2006-10-11'::DATE, '2006-10-20'::DATE);
overlaps
----------
t
(1 row)
Your date-range don't overlap, because the 2nd ends '2006-10-31' and the other
begin with '2006-10-31'. And your query can't return anything because the where-condition
returns false.
