Thanks! It seems like we've gone past the sanity-checking part. But
unfortunately I had one more error before finishing the backup. I happened
to have a symlink in the source directory, and it gives this error when
processing the file:
---

Cleaning up

rdiff-backup is checking the destination directory properties. Isn't it
also checking if the target supports symlinking? I got this list at the
beginning:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Detected abilities for destination (read/write) file system:
Ownership changing Off
Hard linking Off
fsync() directories Off
Directory inc permissions Off
High-bit permissions Off
Extended filenames Off
Access control lists Off
Extended attributes Off
Case sensitivity Off
Mac OS X style resource forks Off
Mac OS X Finder information Off
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It says hard linking, but nothing about symlinking..
