Yes.

The full backup backed up the TurboIMAGE databases *and* marked them as 
"DBSTOREd" in the root files.  This, unfortunately, modified the root
files (and thus their modification date) ... so the partial backup
saw them and backed them up.  

*HIGHLY* annoying ... back when I tried getting STORE to replace DBSTORE,
I never had that in mind ... I'd have had STORE reset the mod dates to whatever
it was before the DBSTOREd date was set (preferring that bit of falsehood to
the annoyance the current mechanism entails).
