Okay, I'm almost ready to give up on rdiff-backup! I really don't to do
so because I really like, but the this problem I've been having is
starting to take a toll on me. Fortunately, I've kind of narrowed the
problem down to the following.
Ok, I have the following source directory
source directory = /home/golden/testy
The contents of /home/golden/testy are:
test.txt
test2.txt
test3.txt
Now, I run
rdiff-backup -v7 --print-statistics /home/golden/testy
/iomega/bkps/loomis/gtest
The backup runs with no problem, this is the first backup into an empty
directory.
Then I modify /home/golden/testy/test.txt by adding a line to the file
and then save it.
Then I run the above rdiff-backup script, the evil happens! Rdiff-backup
fails with the following error:

Why would rdiff-backup fail at this point? If I can't get rdiff-backup
to backup a folder with three small text files, how would ever get it
backup up my company's data of over 50 GB? Any help or suggestions is
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Golden Delamatrix
