Fast Mirror not copying changed files

I am using the fast mirror option and I just found a situation where FBackup is not copying changed files.
I have a music folder that had songs that were too loud.
I modified them with MP3Cut, downloaded them from mp3cut to the download folder, Mp3cut changed the song name song.mp3 to song mp3cut.mp3 and the date had changed to the date I modified them.
Then I renamed to songs removing the mp3cut word and copied and replaced them in the original folder.
I ran the FBackup to validate than the new songs were backed up and they still had the old date.

So until this is fixed I have removed the fast mirror option and am doing full backups.
Let me know if questions.
Thanks.

Hi,

Please open Backup Properties->Advanced page.
Uncheck the "Smart file scanning mode" option.
Press Save and run again the backup.
Are the files backed up now?

Yes! That worked.
I guess the "Smart" option is not so smart? Or am I missing something?
Thank you for your prompt response.
