Did you use the TIME variable directly in the "do_rootfs" function code? The "vardepsexclude" flag excludes only direct dependencies:

    B = "test"
    A = "${B}"
    # Code on the following line will not work: There is no direct dependency from do_install to B.
    # do_install[vardepsexclude] = "B"
    # Code on the following line effectively remove value of B variable from do_install stamps:
    A[vardepsexclude] = "B" 
    do_install () { 
      echo ${A}
    }
