Yes that's what I meant.

So your backup involves "pushing" to the terastation

So, if I understand you correctly, you're backing up from one network
mount point to another? rdiff-backup pulls from source box, and your
mount point "pushes" it over the network to the terastation. That's
the kind of push I meant.

Graphically:

[source box] -> [your box, running rdiff-backup] -> [terastation with
cifs share]
> It is set up that way, as written above :)

You may be able to fix your current problem by running the regression
locally (after an rsync), then rsync your updated rdiff-backup
destination over to the cifs share (move the broken destination
somewhere else first, then remove it later if your new backup dest
works).
