Hi everyone, First I'd like to apologize for the terseness of my original post. It was early Sunday morning when I wore up and discovered that my backup had failed, and as a result I wasn't at my best.
I did some more poking at the problem and here's what I discovered (I also posted this at the launchpad URL). I modified get_indexpath() in log.py to catch a TypeError exception and return the string "TypeError" instead of aborting. It printed 4 errors: ListError: 'TypeError' [Errno 13] Permission denied: b'/run/user/1000/doc' ListError: 'TypeError' [Errno 13] Permission denied: b'/run/user/1000/gvfs' ListError: 'TypeError' [Errno 13] Permission denied: b'/run/user/1000/keybase/kbfs' ListError: 'TypeError' [Errno 13] Permission denied: b'/run/user/141/gvfs' I'm not really sure what's wrong with the first 3. Maybe they're odd because they're in /run? The final file does really look like it might be corrupted. I ran the code in the debugger and was able to confirm that the data in the rpath was bytes instead of strings. I wasn't able to find where they were getting loaded. At any rate it looks like the easy fix on my end is to exclude /run from my backups. I did that last night and rdiff-backup ran without errors. Is there any other information you'd like me to provide to help track down what's causing the problem?
