Odd problem restoring from differential backup

Hi all. Here's what's happening to me. A user mistakenly deleted a file today, and asked if I could restore it for him. I said no problem...calmly fired up Backup Exec...found the file I wanted to restore from last night's differential backup...and restored the file. Only problem is, the file is from almost two weeks ago. This is a file which is modified on a daily basis by the user. The last full backup was run on saturday night without any issues. Three differential backups have run since then without issue. Using VSS I was able to get the user a copy from yesterday morning, but I would much prefer to get him a copy from last night as many changes were made to the file during the day yesterday. What could possibly be going on here? Thanks in advance for your help.

Backup Exec 10.0 sp4
Veritas Volume Snapshot used
Backup Exec Agent installed on remote server

I figured this out...user error of course.
