Please go into Terminal and do an ls -l@ on the build folder, and report the results. It should have the "com.apple.XcodeGenerated" extended attribute on it.
It may also show up in your Time Machine "Exclude these items from backup" list.
There's a possibility that if the build folder was created when Time Machine was turned off, the "don't backup" state might have been dropped. Deleting the build folder and letting Xcode recreate it when Time Machine is turned on may fix this.
