Hi Arno, Thank you very much. This is exactly what I was looking for. I was hoping there was a fairly simple command line tool that I could use.
I compared two snapshot paths and I believe I found the culprit. I have TechTool software installed. I did not realize it, but apparently it was doing a Directory Backup to save "valuable directory structure information" every 4 hours. Time Machine was backing up the TechTool Protection directory in /Library/Application Support, which apparently involved over 2-GB of changes. I have now excluded the /Library/Application Support directory, so hopefully that will solve my problem. I hope this does not create any new problems by not backing up the /Library/Application Support directory.
