Description of problem:
Satellite backup utility creates the full backup even after using the "snapshot" & "incremental" options.
~~~
# satellite-maintain backup snapshot --incremental /home/satellite-backup-6.4/satellite-backup-2019-11-21-10-53-51/ /home/incremental-satellite-backup-6.4/
~~~
Tested this on 6.4, 6.5 & 6.6
------------------------------
Sharing the reproducer details, I created the normal backup & then incremental snapshot backup,

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.4, 6.5 & 6.6
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a normal backup using the first command & then the second command to get the incremental snapshot backup
~~~
# satellite-maintain backup offline --assumeyes /home/satellite-backup-6.4
~~~
2. Create the incremental snapshot backup using the following command,
~~~
# satellite-maintain backup snapshot --incremental /home/satellite-backup-6.4/satellite-backup-2019-11-21-10-53-51/ /home/incremental-satellite-backup-6.4/
~~~
3. Now compare both the tarballs, they should have almost the same size.
Actual results:
Creates the same full backup
Expected results:
Should create only incremental backup
