It looks like all your snapshots except daily.2 have individual
copies of the files.  Which doesn't sound right unless almost all
your files change every 4 hours (or however often you do hourly
rsnapshots.  daily.3 also seems to be missing.

Can you start by sending to rsnapshot-discuss the output of
        sudo grep '^[^#]' /etc/rsnapshot.conf

Perhaps also 
        sudo du -csh /home/sepia/sitebackups/daily.2/
so we can see whether daily.2 has linked files (as it should)
or is an incomplete snapshot. 

Other generally useful information would be:
* What Operating System are you running rsnapshot on?
* What kind of file system is /home/sepia/sitebackups on?
