Public bug reported:

i am using version 0.11.4ppa1~karmic1 and in my sbackup.conf i have a
line like this:

/media/fat32disk/ = 1

so that whenever i plug in my portable drive, which is formatted fat32,
it gets backed up with the rest of the system.

i've noticed now that, after two backup sessions, sbackup seems to be
taking another full backup of the /media/fat32disk.

for example, i haven't had fat32disk plugged in for a while, so there
already existed a full backup of my system as well as several
incremental backups.  then i plug in fat32disk and sbackup makes another
incremental, this time including /media/fat32disk since it's mounted and
also backing up everything in /media/fat32disk since it hasn't been
plugged in since the last full backup.  so far so good.

however, next time the scheduled backup is run, the incremental backup
again includes everything from /media/fat32disk even though practically
none of the files have changed.

i'm not sure if this is due to the volume being formatted fat32,
therefore causing some sort of problem reading file
creation/modification times, or what.  it was my first guess.
