rdiff-backup checks to see if it can read and write EAs on the
destination filesystem, but only tries to list one on the source.
Here is the relevant code:
xattr.listxattr(rp.path)
if write:
xattr.setxattr(rp.path, "user.test", "test val")
assert xattr.getxattr(rp.path, "user.test") == "test val"
So if you want to see what is going on you could try testing xattr's
listxattr, setxattr, and getxattr from the python interpreter.
