I found the problem. Yes, the first part is there was a date issue. I had a
full backup on Sunday. The second part is what I found interesting. It was
doing full restores of the clients and ignoring the filelist (I thought). The
problem was the filelist that I used had blank lines at the bottom. It must
have used the blanklines as wildcards. Don't have blank lines at the end of
your filelist!
Just thought I would pass that along... thanks for the help everyone.
