iTunes files being backed up multiple times

I've got an issue with 7.5 Professional running under Vista. All was working fine when I was on XP, but now I'm getting multiple backups of my iTunes files in the same backup set. Here's the scenario:

 

Recycle backup run on Sunday

Normal backups run Monday-Saturday

 

All of the iTunes files backup on Sunday fine. No changes to the files, but they will then start getting backed up again (as if they were changed) during the normal backups. Looking at the "Session Contents" logs, I see the file being backed up with the Recycle backup. I also see it in the Normal backup the following day, and looking at some of the file properties in the session contents, it clearly shows that it should NOT have been backed up. Here's a sample:

RECYCLE BACKUP:

Home.m4p

Flags:

Type: File

Size: 3,684K total (3,734,148 bytes used)

 

Location: I:\iTunes\Michael Buble\It's Time\

Backed Up: Thursday, January 24, 2008, 12:12:31 PM

NORMAL BACKUP:

Home.m4p

Flags:

Type: File

Size: 3,684K total (3,734,148 bytes used)

Backed Up: Friday, January 25, 2008, 2:27:18 AM

So, the question is: Why, if it's backed up and in the current backup set, is it getting backed up again? No change to the created, modified or even accessed times. This is killing my backup times and available backup space. mad.gif
