Look at the timestamps on the files in question. An incremental should
take them if they are newer than the last full run. If the files were
copied in with some mechanism that preserved an old timestamp, they
won't be included in the backup. There might also be a problem if you
have a date/time mismatch between the client and server - I'm not sure
whose time is used.
The rsync method does not have this same issue. It actually compares
the files from the last full and will copy anything that isn't in the
archive.
