Please excuse the attached txt, but putting it on pastebin doesn't last 
forever

In this setup, if I update the file set, the backup begins again as a 
FULL backup. This why would this be the case?

Ran TESTBASE, to create the basejob - no errors
Ran TESTJOB, to see if anything else will be backed up - it ran very 
fast, as hardly anything had changed
I edited the fileset to add in another directory, and it ran the whole 
thing as a full backup instead of an incremental, telling me that no 
suitable prior/previous backup had be taken, which meant taking down 
files that are in the basejob.

This is very undesirable, because a lot of my remote machines have over 
500G of data, and I dread to think that if the file set is edited, that 
they will all come down the wire as a full

I'm running 5.0.2



Job {
   Name = TESTBASE
   Level = Base
   JobDefs = DefaultJob
   Type = Backup
   Client = TESTCLIENT
   FileSet = SETONE
   Schedule = Monthly
   Storage = File
   Pool = Default
   Messages = Standard
}

Job {
   Name = TESTJOB
   Level = Base
   JobDefs = DefaultJob
   Type = Backup
   Base = TESTBASE, TESTJOB
# If a job can refer to itself, I would assume that it will not back up 
any files that it has encountered before *AND* have not changed. - This 
doesn't seem to be the case.
   Client = TESTCLIENT
   FileSet = SETONEEXTRAS
# note, this is a diffrent overlapping fileset
   Schedule = Daily
   Storage = File
   Pool = Default
   Messages = Standard
}


FileSet {
   Name = SETONE
   Include {
     Options {
     }
     File = /importantfiles
     File = /moreimportantfiles
     File = /root
     File = /home
   }
   Exclude {
     File = /.fsck
     File = /.journal
     File = /tmp
     File = /proc
     File = /tmp
     File = /var/lib/bacula
