I had similar issues that i was never able to solve to my satisfaction.
I worked around them by adding a few cnames for the client host, and configuring
each of them as a backup client, with a specific portion of the filesystem.
if you do this, make sure you have one that includes all by default, and
excludes the other portions. that way a new directory will get backed up.

it probably won't save time but it might save bandwidth, which might help
in his situation.
