This is what I see happening:

The full backup window is 8:00 am Tuesday to 8:00 am Wednesday. Daily 
incrementals run from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am daily.

The full backups kick off at the scheduled time. 6:00 pm rolls around, and 
since the fulls are still running, the incrementals queue up. They don't 
actually start running until sometime early Wednesday. Come 6:00 Wednesday 
night, some incrementals are still running, and some of the Wednesday night 
incrementals get delayed, and sometimes it takes days for everything to get 
caught up.

SInce there isn't much need to run a full and incremental on the same file 
system at the same time, I'd prefer just to skip the incrementals on Tuesday 
(and Wednesday too, for that matter, since the full backups can run into 
Wednesday sometimes) to avoid this problem.
