Recently it stopped working (I cannot say for sure if it was after I upgraded to 0.13.4-3, but I think so). I am backing up a subfolder of my ~ dir to a directory on another machine mounted via NFS. I have rwx------ on the backup target directory. Now, I keep getting crashes when rdiff backup starts (Traceback see below). I have tried backing up to another local folder. That works fine. I have tried to access the NFS folder not through the symbolic link in my ~, but through the path of the mount point. Didn't work either. The strange thing is, I never changed the way I call rdiff-backup. This was in a little shell script.

I had planned on giving him two weeks from the date (Sept. 4) I last sent the bunch of questions I hoped would help, but he hasn't replied and I don't see any pressing reason to keep this open three more days. Andreas said that things magically worked when he downgraded to the ancient 0.6.1 in stable, which doesn't have the feature set that appears to have triggered this bug, so that doesn't surprise me. I'm going to close it - Andreas, if you can provide more information on the questions I asked, I'd like to look into this more, but I simply haven't been able to reproduce it and no one on the rdiff-backup lists has reported a similar problem.
