Hello everyone,
when trying to invoke rdiff-backup in the most simple way (e.g.
rdiff-backup /home/myhomedir /media/myremoteharddrive), I get an error
with a less than obvious cause (at least for me):
=====================================================================

=====================================================================
I am rather sure that I don't have a file with such a strange name there...
The source file system is ext3fs, using utf-8 in filenames. The
destination filesystem is vfat.
Many thanks in advance for any hints
Jürgen
