I circumvented the problem: I found a bit of space on an ext3 partition and started over there, and rdiff-backup worked nicely, so I guess it was an ntfs thing. I was going to copy the old files over, but they seemed to be owned by root, at least at the top levels, and that made me suspicious. If anyone knows how to make ntfs-3g write to filesystems in this case, I'm listening, because I could want to recover data from old backups sometime. That said, I'm probably okay.
