Your problem as far as I can tell, is trying to use a cifs mount as a rdiff-backup destination. rdiff-backup wants to preserve the permissions of the source perfectly at the destination (so it can compare against them in the future), but a cifs mount doesn't provide the ability to create hardlinks, symlinks, set extended attributes, etc. Just basic stuff like modified date basic ACLS/permissions+mods. I think that your rdiff-backup is failing because it detects a failed earlier rdiff-backup session and wants to regress to before that failed backup. But the regress fails because rdiff-backup is unable to set the permissions etc it wants to on your backup destination. Preferably log into the remote server, and run rdiff-backup locally. Alternately, you may be able to run rdiff-backup --check over a nfs mountpoint, or against a rdiff-backup service runnning on the remote host. It may be another reason (I'm not familiar with rdiff-backup's internals and stack trace), but first try the above, then post the error if you get one.
