I'm also having trouble seeming similar to yours (with rdiff-backup 1.2.0 on both sides). I'm backing up a server in five parts, initiating the backup from the backup server. The backup of the biggest part often fails, perhaps in 30% of the backups. When I run it again, it usually works (the second time). I only get this output on the backup server: IOError while trying to log exception!

I'm still trying to figure out a better way to report this, but since you posted a report that might be related, I just add my problem to this thread... I added '-v5' to the rdiff-backup command today, and I'll investigate the output after the next run (in case it fails).
