What are the permissions on that directory? rdiff-backup has some
problems with directories with weird permissions like d--x------,
because it mirrors those permissions in the repository, and then finds
that it can't access the directory on the next run.
The permissions on the backup side don't look problematic:
drwx------ 2 corey corey 4096 Jun 27 2006
%2FVolumes%2Fftpmirror.sectoor.de
On my laptop the permissions look slightly different (could it be the x bit
is the problem?):
drw------- 2 root wheel 68 Jun 27 2006
%2FVolumes%2Fftpmirror.sectoor.de
Is the issue with permissions a known issue that is being worked on or
should I create a bug report?
Yes, I think that is the problem. Without execute permissions on the
directory, rdiff-backup cannot descend into it. Please do file a bug
report.
Cheers, Chris.
