Smart Update doesn't seem to work

Something in a smart-update puzzles me (yes, again !) : it checks all the files on a volume, and not only the folders mentionned for the copy.
(Even though, in the end, it's only copying the modified or new files).

Why should it check 450 000 files on the drive, even though I have many less on the folders I am "smart-updating" ?

Thanks for your answer
