I think what you are seeing is the result of multiple client backups occurring 
on your backup server.  If you change your browse time to the time when the 
backup (the one you are looking for) finished, you'll probably see the entries 
you're looking for.  Make sure that you not only change the date, but also the 
time.

We have multiple clients defined on our backup servers as well (we also mount 
copies of disks to our servers for backup purposes).  What I have found is that 
when you change the browse time, it will default to 23:59 of the date you 
enter.  If you have multiple backups running, the index that will 
appear/display will be for the last one that occurred prior to 23:59.  So, if 
you snapshot backup finishes and then another backup runs on your server (and 
finishes prior to 23:59) you will have to change both the date and time when 
you browse the client.
