Package: rdiff-backup
Version: 1.1.5-4
Severity: normal

After upgrading to version 1.1.5-3 and 1.1.5-4, this command:

    rdiff-backup \
        --force \
        -v9 \
        --exclude /mnt/dos/temp \
        /mnt/dos \
        /mnt/dos_backup \
        >> $logfile \
        2>> $logfile.err

now reports:

    Sun Dec  3 11:31:56 2006  Fatal Error: New quoting requirements!

    The quoting chars this session needs (^A-Za-z0-9_ -.) do not match
    the repository settings (^A-Za-z0-9_ -.
    ) listed in

    /mnt/dos_backup/rdiff-backup-data/chars_to_quote

However, the characters listed in chars_to_quote
are exactly what rdiff-backup says it needs.

The source and destination directories are on
msdos and vfat file systems, respectively.

The only clue I discern is that rdiff-backup
appears to see a spurious newline character in
chars_to_quote, between the "." and trailing ")"
delimiter. (See 14 lines up...)

I already emailed Ben Escoto and Daniel Baumann
about this twenty five days ago.

Thanks,
Kingsley
