Is removing 3 backups increments. Since there are 12 increments, the number of
the oldest one should be 12. Removing older then 11 should either remove 2 if
it is inclusive or 1 if not. However it removes 3.
On the other hand on another test set:
$ rdiff-backup -l /tmp/86
Found 3 increments:
increments.2009-06-16T07:20:34+03:00.dir Tue Jun 16 07:20:34 2009

Removing:
$ rdiff-backup --force --remove-older-than 3B /tmp/86
No increments older than Tue Jun 16 07:20:34 2009 found, exiting.
$ rdiff-backup --force --remove-older-than 2B /tmp/86
Deleting increment at time:
Tue Jun 16 07:20:34 2009
$ rdiff-backup -l /tmp/86
Found 2 increments:
increments.2009-06-17T07:20:34+03:00.dir Wed Jun 17 07:20:34 2009
increments.2009-06-18T07:20:34+03:00.dir Thu Jun 18 07:20:34 2009

I.e. only 2B removes one increment which suggest that it is not inclusive, and
in the previous case only one increment should have been removed.
And there are more problems with --remove-older-then with dates where sometimes
it is removing inclusive, some times exclusive, and some time it just is not
clear how it works.
