This is kludgy but might work. Details left as an exercise. Your problem
is that what you want is to know when a file is *new to YOU* not what
it's timestamp is.
Keep two complete sets of .dat files. One is an image of the state of
files, but with timestamps preserved. The other one is an image, but
with timestamps as of when YOU received them.
Every time you get an update, use touch or something similar to make the
files in the update have the date that you received them (on a copy).
Apply the original update to your original image. Apply the touched
update to your "as received" image.
Now let make dependency analysis use the "as received" directory to work
from and bob's your uncle.
I think.
