Hum, good point, the timestamps didn't came in mind ... but I don't 
think this is the problem because there were old files in the directory 
and none of them were copied. Let me understand something ...

I run a full backup of two directories in a share. After, I change the 
config adding a third directory and then run an incremental backup. This 
new directory I just added as it doesn't have any previous backups it 
will be copied without any timestamps test, right?
