So, you're saying you want Bacula to ignore some, but not all, file changes?

The short answer here is, if you don't want Bacula to back up files that
you have manually moved a second time after you move them, exclude the
REAL path to the directory you're moving them TO.  If you add such
exclusions often, you may have to set Ignore Fileset Changes in order to
not have each such change trigger a new Full backup.  Remember that a
Full will be triggered after you first set Ignore Fileset Changes.
