Dear List

We run a verifyjob between a regular tape-backup and a catalogb ackup to 
tape.
The first time the job was run as an initcalalog job to have an inital 
verification state.
The purpose of the verify job is to asure that the data of the regular 
backup is written to tape correctly. I fear that the current config of 
the job does not do that.
It is defined as:
Job {
  Name = "Verify_Zim"
  Type = Verify
  Level = VolumeToCatalog
  Client = zim-fd
  FileSet = "Full Set"
  Messages = Standard
  Storage = "DDS-4"
  Pool = Default
  Schedule = "VerifyCycle"
}

We run Bacula version 2.4.1 on Debian Etch with Mysql.
I get an email every night with:
- new files in /var/lib/postgresql
- 2 new files in CVS (a very long path is specified): we have not been 
using CVS in favor of SVN for years now......
- new files created that day
- files in catalog but not on disk(!) of:
  - our IMAP server
  - /var/lib/bacula
  - /var/lib/postgresql
  - files in /home
  - a file in CVS (which we do not use)

Seeing this gives an unreliable view of what is happening.
The CVS files: is that a (known) bug?
It seems we get a comparation of what is on disk at that time versus 
what was in the catalog the night before, which is a very different 
verify then the one I had in mind (verification of files written to tape).
Any hints much appreciated!
