Hi Andreas,
It sure looks to me like rdiff-backup never properly handled the case
where hard links were unsupported on the destination filesystem.
Fortunately, it was a 2-line fix in CVS to make it do so. It can now
restore hard links even when the backup is stored on, say, an sshfs
filesystem.
thanks for your careful testing,
Andrew
