Corey, Did you run rdiff-backup as root? The permissions on that directory are: drw------- 4 root wheel 136B Feb 21 18:49 Spotlight-V100 If you don't run rdiff-backup as root, you cannot backup that directory (no backup program can!). I just ran: sudo rdiff-backup Spotlight-V100 Spotlight-V100.backup and it worked perfectly. I think if you run rdiff-backup as root you won't run into any problems. Chris, rdiff-backup will adjust permissions as necessary (eg, adding 100 to Spotlight-V100 during backup), but you have to be the file's owner to do so (or root).
