why should we need to specify the directories as additional params?
wouldn`t it be enough to put that .NOBACKUP into specific dirs, tell
rdiff-backup to watch out for those - and that`s it?
this looks quite similar for something i always used with EMC/Legato Networker
(.nsr directive)

Ahh, so you place a .NOBACKUP file in directories which

The code in question:
--
upper_a = subdir.append(A)
upper_a.touch()
lower_a = subdir.append(a)
if lower_a.lstat():
lower_a.delete()
upper_a.setdata()
assert not upper_a.lstat()
return 0

.NOBACKUP is a regular file that users can put into directories that they
don't need to get backed up. You could also tell users to rena,e their
directories a specific way, but that could cause some trouble with how they
work.

Frederik,
I believe the error you are seeing is due to a corrupt file. You can try
running the backup again and see if it works now. Or, you can run
rdiff-backup with -v5 and see which file it is trying to backup before
it fails.
