Think I'm missing something in my setup here, but don't know what.

I'm running director and sd version 7.0.5 on a CentOS box, and backing 
up (among others) a Windows Vista Home Premium client (which is running 
5.2.10). I'm finding that the incremental saves for the Windows client 
ALWAYS include all the empty directories and zero-byte files, whether 
they've changed or not.

Looking at the bat/brestore console, I can see for example that a 
certain zero-byte file is listed in every incremental backup, and that 
it has the same date and Chksum in every entry.

I'm using accurate mode backups, with accurate=pinsmc1:

FileSet {
   Name = Windows
   Include {
     Options {
       compression=GZIP
       signature=SHA1
       accurate=pinsmc1
       checkfilechanges=yes
     }
...

with the includes and excludes pretty normal (a few * wildcards in the 
excludes, but nothing fancy). I'm also backing up a few Linux clients 
and a MacOS client with the same director and not noticing this behavior 
with those (two of the linux clients are 7.0.5, and the other one as 
well as the Mac client is 5.2.6).

Anything obvious jumping out at anybody? I can provide more info if 
needed, but figured I'd start with some basics.

Cheers!
