Look in the 20090830 directory.
While I definitely agree that looking at the logfiles is helpful, remember that an image (call it C) might have contained few delta files when it was created, because the files were in a previous image B, but not in an even earlier image A. If B is deleted before A, then C will now hold the only reference to those files it had in common with B, giving C a larger image size (as reported by du) than when it was created (as reported in the logfile).
