You could try setting the debug level to 100 in the client (setdebug
client=Windows level=100 trace=1) to see what it is comparing.
You could also look at the lstat column for those files in the file table to
see what differs (see .bvfs_decode_lstat at
http://www.bacula.org/7.0.x-manuals/en/main/New_Features_in_7_0_0.html#SECTION003129000000000000000).
