Maybe this is a dumb question, but how do you know? Did you try going back
in time with TM's "outer space" view, or did you look inside the
Backups.backupdb folder and not see the files you knew should be there?
I'm particularly curious about new files that should be backed up but
aren't.
If you manually tell TM to do a backup, does it make any difference?

I haven't seen this behavior, but I would try the following:
1. Double-check your exclusion list.
If it's wrong, then TM could be doing backups but simply not backing up
the files you expect, because they're excluded by the exclusion list.
2. Turn TM off and back on again.
3. Choose "None" for the TM volume, accept the change, then choose your
original backup volume again before the 2-minute delay expires.
Both 2 and 3 will change the plist file that controls TM:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
So will 1 if you make any changes to the list.
You may want to use the 'defaults' command:
defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine
or open the plist in Property List Editor and inspect it.

What type of network volume is it? Hosted on what?
