Hi! No, this function is not supported. The XPath defined by JCR is only a subset of XPath 1.0 and the only functions that are required are jcr-specifc (jcr:like, jcr:contains, jcr:deref, jcr:score and some of the Jackrabbit search extensions, such as rep:similar [1]). See also section 6.6.5 and 6.6.6 of the JSR-170 spec [2].
JCR 2.0 will no longer have XPath out of the box, but a java query model (JCR-JQOM). This means there will most likely be a generic XPath to JQOM converter that could be more easily and separately maintained and support such simple functions (as this only means to replace the current-dateTime() with the date value). For now you could do either do it manually in your Java code or, if you want to manually enter queries, you could write a simple wrapper that simply replaces the "current-dateTime()" string with the value of the current date. (I know, this solution won't work for all functions...)
