I know incremential rsync transfers only modified files.

It depends on too many factor to give you an answer. Filesystem limitations or
server/client default
encoding could problematic. My first test would be the file name's encoding.

I don't think so. I believe incremential backups should not be so far away
between each other.

No worry, me neither.
By the way:
I'm using BackupPC to backup MacOS X desktops (using rsync).
Even if they are located in the LAN I do not backup the whole system.
I only backup their emails but I think I could also include the personnal
documents.
The host.pl config file contains some lines looking like these:
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -x -l user1 $host nice -n 5 $rsyncPath
$argList+';
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = [ '/Users/user1/Library/Mail' ];
Hope it helps.
