How many full backups are you keeping (ie, what are $Conf{FullKeepCnt},
$Conf{FullAgeMax} and $Conf{FullKeepCntMin} set to)?
With 4.x, it is no longer necessary to keep extra full backups around for
the incrementals (since filled/non-filled and incremental/full are
decoupled), so it's possible those settings were too small.
