Thanks Wayne.
Any stupid question is always welcome. They might save me from making
a stupid mistake.

Full and cinc bups are in same policy.
The only symptom is that directory structure is always backed up with
a cinc, even if mod time of dir has not changed since last full. Files
which are modified since last full are also correctly backed up by
cinc.
Thanks again.
