Sorry, I read your original issue already as solved.
Perhaps the 'estimate' command is helpful:
estimate job=YOURJOB level=Full listing
should give you a file list of what is actually backed up. Perhaps this
sheds some light.
Other posiblities depend on your mailserver software/storage format and
filesystem.  How are the sizes compared with
- df
- du -s dir
- tar cf - dir | wc
- tar cSf - dir | wc

Regards,
        Adrian
