Thanks for your response Martin.
I did check the logs and found nothing of interest.
I did the @output as you suggested and sure enough /share and all its contents were included.
In my Fileset, the only Exclude is for /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs - so I don't think that is a problem.
Your final suggestion re: strace -f -p might be a job for Monday, if necessary.
In the meantime, yesterday I changed the schedule to force a Full backup last night hoping that this would put things back into sync. The Full backup was successful and included everything that had previously been missing. What will be interesting is tonight's Incremental. Just have to wait and see. Should all go well, I'll let you know. If not, then I'll 'strace' on Monday. [Fingers crossed].
Thanks again,
Ken

Did you check the logs of the backups for any messages about this?
Does the listing option in the estimate command show files in /share? (You
can use the @output command to capture the output into a file.)
Does the fileset have any exclude options that might be accidentally matching
files in /share?
You could try running attaching strace -f -p to the bacula-fd process during a
backup to see if it even looks at /share.
