It's not really a big deal at all if they're not "showing" you all your backlinks...they're still there. Google likes to keep a lot of stuff for their eyes only.

If you want to see all the backlinks to your site, I suggest using Yahoo's backlink checker...it shows much more.

Use the same format as google...link:xhttp://www.domain.com
