rdiff-backup is a normal linux program rather than something like a kde
app, so it doesn't understand smb: http: or ftp: locations, only local
files.

Instead you will need to mount that location locally and use the local
mount point. Eg.

mount -t smb //mini/data/DadsLinux /mnt/backup -ousername=user%pass

rdiff-backup /home/edward /mnt/backup
