Seven MB, small share.  Likely for testing?

I'm probably going to show my great ignorance of PC's here,
but what the heck.

When long ago I was looking at the code or the docs something
I recall was that samba (or amanda) uses the PC file system's
?archive bit? to determine if a file needs an incremental or
not.  The dependency on this two-state "bit" is why you can't
do levels of incrementals.

Perhaps on the one system something other than amanda/samba
prevents (or causes) this archive bit to flip.  That would
be analogous to "touch"ing a file on a unix system and
making the file look like it needs backup.
