As Holger notes you appear to be backing up more than you expect.
The $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} setting obviously isn't working.
Plus you can't set $Conf{TopDir} on a per-client basis, and
as Holger notes you should change TopDir with a symlink.

Also, is there any chance your desktop has nfs mounts of the
server, in particular including the BackupPC store?  That
recursion will make the next incremental quite large.
