I am not the OP, but following is my stack trace for this problem 
(/usr/local/bin/sudoedit has permissions ---s--x--x). CENSOR is just a 
privacy placeholder for the backup target/source desination information.

This is with rdiff-backup 1.1.15 on both sides (on FreeBSD 7).

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/rdiff-backup", line 23, in <module>
