Nathan, I'm fairly certain there's a bug here, but it may take a little bit to fix it. In the meantime, I believe you can avoid this issue by changing how you are running the restore. Log onto 'remote' and run: $ rdiff-backup -r now backup::/some/backup /some/restore/point Try that and see if it works.
