It may be normal - if your 2nd run was an incremental and the method
used to copy the files preserved a timestamp earlier than your prior
full run.  Smb and tar backups can only use the file timestamps to
determine what to include.   That's one of the advantages of
rsync/rsynd which can actually compare the directories.

If that is the case, they should be included in your next full run.
