We saw this behavior with Macintosh namespace files and 3.7 and 4.1
clients. At the moment we are using a 3.1 client on servers with Macintosh
namespace loaded.

Does anyone else see this issue?
I have seen several instances where TSM backed up a file when it had not
been modified in anyway.  Even when you look at the restore application,
there are several versions of a file, each with the same create date, the
same modified date, and different backed up dates.  I am curious if
others, or everyone sees this happening, or if I have some setting
incorrect some where.
There have been no "always backup" backups (selective) performed, so that
isn't what happened.

Clueless...
