I'm a BackupPC nOOb and I made the mistake of leaving the '+' after the "newer than" variable while I was doing a backup of a local machine. This confused BackupPC (not suprsingly) and it interpreted the date as some time in 1901 so my incremental backup was the same size and took the same time as the full backup.
In the log file, check the 'newer-than' date on your incremental backup.
