You measure disk space usage with which tool(s)? Have you looked at the 
du(1) or the df(1) of the directories?

Have you checked whether unchanged names link to the same inode or 
different? I.e. do a ls -i on a file you know is unchanged between 
trees, and see if the inode that gets displayed is the same on both.

 From which OS do you back up?
