Alex, You can use the option: --override-chars-to-quote '' (that's two single quotes next to each other) every time you use rdiff-backup (eg, when backing-up, when restoring, etc.) to override the default/safe behavior. I know this option is in 1.1.5, which has been quite stable for me, but I'm not sure about 1.0.4.
