that's probably because vac stores the metadata about the file as well as the file itself. the score is probably different because the access time of the file has changed. if you really always want the same score for the same file, i think you'll probably have to hack vac to do what you want (it shouldn't be hard - either just write the file data itself, or zero selected metadata).
