 From the manual:

The File daemon (Client) decides which files to backup for an  
Incremental backup by comparing start time of the prior Job (Full,  
Differential, or Incremental) against the time each file was last  
"modified" (st_mtime) and the time its attributes were last  
"changed"(st_ctime). If the file was modified or its attributes  
changed on or after this start time, it will then be backed up.

And as far as i understand  
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man2/stat.2.html  
st_ctime is changed by changing inode information, which is used to  
set the location in the directory tree. So i guess moving around a  
directory indeed will include it in the next backup.

Andreas
