I don't know the answer, but I will say that the current error handling is rdiff-backup's biggest shortcoming in my opinion. Anytime I recommend rdiff-backup, I always warn the potential new user that if they are not comfortable seeing stack dumps, they will get very nervious if rdiff-backup ever has a hiccup on their system.
If I may comment as well, I don't mind the stackdump at all. I see rdiff-backup mainly as a system-admin's or experienced user's tool, meaning the people most likely to use it are comfortable with stackdumps. If you're a Linux-newbie, you wouldn't start using rdiff-backup... In my opinion, it's not necessary to fix it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
And BTW, I think by saying that the error-handling is rdiff-backup's greatest shortcoming, is actually a compliment on that which it is supposed to do: backup :)
