The Full backup it is referencing "_IS_" good, but it is old. As a result the 
differentials are much bigger than they need to be. My question is why is it 
referencing an old Good Full backup verses a new Good Full backup?

I will backup my catalog, and try this. The file sets between the Full and Diff 
jobs are the same, so I don't think that is the issue.
