i already included it in the director configuration.
anyhow, here it is again:
<snip>
FileSet {
  Name = "_Net_data"
  Include {
    Options {
      signature = MD5
      wildfile="*.o"
      wildfile="*.pd_linux_o"
      wildfile="*~"
      wilddir="*/tmp"
      wilddir="*/temp"
      wilddir="*/Temp"
      wilddir="*/TEMP"
      wilddir="*/.svn"
      wilddir="*/.imap"
      wilddir="*/Maildir/.SPAM*"
      wilddir="*/Trash"
      wilddir="*/.Trash"
      wilddir="*/RECYCLER"
      wilddir="*/Temporary Internet Files"
      wilddir="*/.DS_Store"
      wilddir="*/.AppleDouble"
      exclude="yes"
    }
    File = /Net/data
  }
  Exclude {
    File = /Net/data/Benutzer.rsync
  }
}
</snip>

# stat /Net/data/Sound/ablinger/Altar/05KStudie2.wav
  File: `/Net/data/Sound/ablinger/Altar/05KStudie2.wav'

so the times seem to be fine (the ctime is when i copied the old files
to the new fileserver)


alas.
btw, is there a way to "estimate" the next backup?
"estimate" seems to only estimate the fileset (that is: the "full" set)
