OS versions doesn't matter. What is important: Bacula Dir/SD vs. File
Daemon versions. The supported configuration require Dir/SD in the same
version every time and FD not newer.

Well, as you wish. Unfortunate Bacula 5.0.0 is not a best example. :)

Recommended version in May 2015 is Bacula 7.0.5, not 5.2.13.

First of all. Did you ever test that it is not working? Differential backup
does not backup a files which were deleted in the mean time. So in real
system it is very unlikely (it must meet a specific conditions) you get the
same number of files backed up in Incremental and Differential levels.
