Please let me know if you have any suggestions about this.  Thanks.

Typing "cannot restore segment prot after reloc" into google suggests that it is probably selinux related. Do you have the same selinux setup on the 64-bit system as on the 32-bit ones? What do you get for:

  ls -alZ /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/_librsync.so

it would probably be worth checking all the other files in the package too with something like:

  rpm -ql rdiff-backup | xargs ls -ldZ

and see if those match whatever selinux expects for those object types.

Does running restorecon help at all?  Does disabling (or

Hi, Jon. Well. THAT was dumb. On my part, that is. You are absolutely correct: setting selinux to "Permissive" mode makes the error go away. Thanks.
