Try running rdiff-backup with "-v 5". That will give you a list of files/directories that are being processed. The last few lines should give you a clue as to what is going on (ie, where on the filesystem it is failing). If we can believe the above exception backtrace, it claims that it is failing on the Python call "os.listdir()". This call returns a list of all the files in the given directory. If you have a directory with some staggeringly large number of files, it's certainly conceivable that it could cause an out of memory error. I know Mac OS X Tiger Mail now uses individual files for each message ... temp directories are another place to look.
