By default, this only works through one rotation of the logs, and starting with the second rotation, the changes are going to be reported _until_ you copy the newly generated databases to the old ones if no changes were found. Appropriate settings in /etc/default/aide would be COMMAND=update COPYNEWDB=ifnochange Let me know if this helps.
