Baseline Totals Different in Task vs Resource View

[Rich E.]

I noticed that my total baseline hours from a Task Usage perspective
is not the same total when I look at the baselines in a resource
view. Getting a project total baseline on a task view is easy. I
then go to a Resource usage view, collapse everything down to just the
resource names, and then add up the total baseline numbers shown for
each resource. The numbers did not balance. So I opened up each
resource on the resource view and found that some of the baseline
numbers on the tasks under the resource name did not roll-up to the
baseline number at the resource total. Why? Here's what I am seeing
on a Resource view, showing baseline work:

RESOURCE NAME, baseline total
task 1, baseline for task 1
task 2, baseline for task 2
task 3, baseline for task 3

However the sum of the baselines for tasks 1,2,3 do not add up to the
baseline total for that person. In almost all cases, the sum of the
baselines for tasks 1,2,3 is LESS than the baseline total at the
resource line
