Ok, so I made the changes and put save -c VIRTUALNAME in the "backup command" 
properties field.  Last night it kicked off a full again.  I'm guessing it did 
because under the virtual name it doesn't have a full backup listed so it 
thinks this is a new server.  So tonight's backup should be an incremental.

Thanks.

You have just spelled out exactly why it is not working. It is registering 
under the wrong client name, which is why it is running as full every time. You 
should not need the pathownerignore. I have configured hundreds of clusters and 
never used this file - it is a hack.
Get rid of this file and configure it properly and all will be fine. By 
"properly" I mean with "save -c", or equivalent for databases, the correct 
(secure) entries for remote access, and the appropriate filesystems for each 
client.
