confusing isn't it. For reasons not transparent to me, additionally to 
verifying the backed up data, verify also compares the date with the source. 
This should be removed from my point of view. It could be part of a new command 
compare, which actually really compares backup with source.

that's design. If verify finds differences it always returns 1 and not 0 
(success). If you can explain the difference (e.g. file likely modified during 
backup) you can ignore it.
