Check their mtime and ctime. You'll find one has changed, or as another 
poster said, might be in the future.

If the mtime has changed to today, look for any scripts which change 
permissions and/or ownerships. These will adjust the mtime (as will 
anything performing a "touch" operation.

Changing atime will not trigger a backup.
