Right.

Well... the first, full, backup stored /etc/bacula. The incremental will
only sore what's changed.
I think I understand the problem: The Ignore Fileset Changes option
affects what is stored in the fileset resource. When inserting lines
through an external file, it does not watch the (dynamically) inserted
contents.

Which ones? I suspect the ones from /var changed after the initial full
backup.

Bacula compares the contents of the fileset resource, not the resulting
effective fileset.

That's expected, as the time-stamp is the criterion by which Bacula
decides what to store.

I doubt it... sounds like a feature request to me. "Make Bacula consider
the effective fileset after including external data when checking for
fileset changes."
Unfortunately, I suspect that would break setups where the file list is
generated dynamically and might change formatting and order, but not the
actual contents.
