You need to specify --end NOW for this to work as expected. From the man 
page:

   WITHOUT --jobs AND WITH --state specified:
   --starttime defaults to Now.
   --endtime defaults to --starttime and to Now if --starttime is not 
specified.

Eg

 > sacct --starttime $(date -d "7 days ago" +"%Y-%m-%d") -X --format 
JobID,JobName,State,Elapsed  --name bash
JobID           JobName      State    Elapsed
------------ ---------- ---------- ----------
570741             bash  COMPLETED   00:00:02
570742             bash  COMPLETED   00:00:02
570743             bash     FAILED   00:00:01
570744             bash     FAILED   00:00:01
570745             bash     FAILED   00:00:01
570746             bash  COMPLETED   00:00:02
570747             bash  COMPLETED   00:00:02
570748             bash  COMPLETED   00:00:02

JobID,JobName,State,Elapsed  --name bash --state COMPLETED
JobID           JobName      State    Elapsed
