10.5: Speed up initial AirPort - Time Machine backups

I followed the instructions but found when I returned to my Air Disk connection and asked for a backup, the sparsebundle had been replaced with a backup.backupdb and TM started from scratch with a new sparsebundle. It tripped up shortly after because there isn't enough room on the drive for 2 different backups.
Anyone struck this?
