Out of curiosity, where did Augustine say that? It's interesting that anyone bothered doubting that the six days were literal before the literal interpretation became embarrassingly inconsistent with established science.
The first three "days" happened before the sun and moon were created, so a literal interpretation was problematic even then.
Eh, there's an easy hack around that: God already knew what the length of a day was before it created the sun and the moon.
