I needed to find the differences between a file and it's counterpart in the snapshot area. When I ran a diff, it reported no differences. That was quite the shock since I knew for a fact the file had changed,
I think many versions of diff and sdiff "cheat" by not checking files if they have the same inode number. If you diff a file and it's snapshot counterpart, it'll never find a difference since the inode numbers match. If you copy the file in the snapshot out, then the copy will have a different inode number, and diff should do it's job correctly.
