Hi Paul, This looks like a bug in the CMIS connector to me; usually the document version string the connector constructs should be adequate to detect all changes. Can you create a ticket? https://issues.apache.org/jira , project ManifoldCF. Please include what version of MCF you are using here. FWIW, this may be in fact a bug in the Alfresco CMIS implementation, but we'll have to have some back and forth before I can determine that for sure.
In the meantime, have you considered using the Alfresco Webscript connector? It's the preferred way to do Alfresco indexing, although there have been issues reported having to do with running it on some configurations of Alfresco. I'm not entirely sure what the problem is there; maybe a version dependency of some kind.
