So, what exactly is mounted below the iomega directory you're trying to backup to? Furthermore: you seem to be trying to backup with root privileges on the target filesystem. No problem with that, but you might want to try a more common approach: as a non-privileged user, ssh to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (using an ssh key and possibly a ~/.ssh/config file to simplify the rdiff-backup command line) and execute rdiff-backup as if it were running on a remote host. Also, you could try a newer rdiff-backup version. I remember there have been some problems preventing it to run smoothly under certain circumstances.
