Files selected, not being backed up?!?

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right forum, I'm using XP Pro's backup utility, (which names Veritas in the 'about')
Anyway, here's the question:

I'm backing up several machines on a network, all via the XPPro box. Each machine is set up as a separate job. Just randomly checking, I saw that the backup last night took 1 second and backed up zero files. No errors were logged (I ran it manually as well, and zero were backed up.) The problem--seevera files that are explicitly checked in the .bks file are NOT being backed up. They are in no way hidden, system, etc etc, and have no security (it's a win98 box). The xp and win98 machines clocks are within 1 minute, so it's not a case of a timestamp making the file appear older. Other machine's have files that get backed up, and this one has files getting backed up too--sometimes. Why is this not being backed up?
Thanks,
