The bls output shows the ctime that was recorded on the volume, which should
be the ctime from the filesystem when the file was backed up. By default, a
file will be included in an incr/diff if its either is mtime or ctime are
newer than the last full backup of the job.
I suggest checking with
stat /mnt/online_docs/src/bind/bind-9.2.1.tar.gz
