You need to use --preserve-numerical-ids on the restore command to
restore with the correct ownership.
That does not work neither:

As Damon Timm pointed out, preserving any kind of ownership does not work
when you run the restore as a non-root user. Unix does not allow non-root
users (including rdiff-backup when run on your behalf) to change the owner
of files. They will always be owned by the user that you are running as.
If you run the restore as root, then ownership should be preserved either
by name or by UID.
Cheers, Chris.
