Bacula uses the file date to determine which files have changed. So a 
file with a future file date would be backed up by each incremental backup.

Since you say that your file was NOT backed up on 9/15 and 9/16, my 
guess is that some application may be opening the file for writing 
without actually making a change. Whatever application is responsible 
for that probably wasn't running on 9/15 and 9/16.
