It doesn't appear to be an rdiff-backup destination dir"
The problem is the "b*". You can't use shell meta-characters in these
queries because rdiff-backup takes them literally and doesn't expand
them. It "works" for an existing directory because your shell expands
the "b*" before passing it to rdiff-backup. The shell won't expand a
meta-character unless the _entire_path_ matches something, so for a
directory that doesn't exist in the mirror, the shell passes the "*"
character literally, rdiff-backup takes it literally, and nothing
matches.
