I suppose estimate does honor the option ("Ignore FileSet Changes=yes"),
because the problem is not in estimate job's files, but rather in actual job's
files - the actual job just wants to back up all the files, but it should not.
It seems that actual job (or the client of the job) doesn't honor the
mtimeonly=yes - it worked OK with my FreeBSD-client when I tested the similar
situation.
