If you use the ResetPassword facility to reset the permissions and ACLs on a user home folder, each item it actually changes will be backed-up on the next backup.

Renaming or moving a file or folder causes the entire item moved or renamed to be backed-up, including all files and sub-folders (except in a File Vault home folder). Removing exclusions, such as your top-level System and/or Library folders, can be sizable. Doing an OSX update can cause a large backup, as it may add or update many thousands of files.
