Bacula will just do it.  Nothing special required.

Incremental are based on the mtime of the file, not having an older version of 
the file mounted.

The script will work for incrementals.  And it has nothing to do with having a 
snapshot mounted. Perhaps you need to explain more about this requirement. It 
sounds like you may be assuming something which is not required.
