I have investigated further. Long story short, the problem is triggered in certain situations involving hard links. --no-hard-links makes the problem go away. I have attached a small script which creates an "old" and "new" directory containing two files owned by root:wheel, with mode ---s--x--x. The script must run as root (but of course, don't run it as root without looking at it - even if you were to blindly trust it there are three things to change in it at the top). In the "old" directory, the two are copies. In the "new" directory, the second file is hardlinked to the first. Afterwards, the script runs rdiff-backup on old and then new. The second run bails with the error I have reported. -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org
