Hurra !
I resolved!

Obviously newfs did not resolve. :-(
But...
i studied the problem from another point of view reading dump 
sources, as you suggested.
dump thinks that file has changed if :
a) modification date has changed
b) cdate has changed : cdate is the date of inode modification

throught stat utility (very nice) i noticed that every file under 
/home had a cdate very recent.
comparing dates i got solution : sophos antivirus, that starts every 
night with a complete /home scan, modifies cdate.
Unfortunately i installed sophos antivirus more or less in the same 
days of the power cut ...

I think that sophos support will receive a question in the next few 
days ... :-)

Thank for the support,

Best regards,
Paolo Tealdi
