I concur with Wanda's comments already made on this thread. As to why it is backing the files up again... something isn't right, but the evidence is not clear.
1) Use QUERY NODE to confirm the policy domain name. 2) Query *all* backup copy groups in the policy domain and ensure that none of them have a mode of ABSOLUTE. Make sure you check the copy groups in the ACTIVE policy set. 3) Make sure you activated the policy set. 4) Are you sure the files are being bound to the management class you think they are being bound to? 5) How certain are you that some part of the file didn't change (security attributes, for example). There are no known defects in TSM where incremental backup exhibits the behavior you are seeing. There is almost certainly another explanation.
