Thanks for the reply.
Yes I did check the related pages. And I tried to use the Python version
2.6 which I assume should not suffer from the problem. But it does suffer.
At that time, I was using Mac OS 10.6 which is assumed to be 64 bits.
Until recently, test was done with Mac OS 10.8 with
It looks like you were encountering the python bug identified here:
http://bugs.python.org/issue1747858
Before their fix, the uid was being converted to a (32 bit) signed int,
which, as you have noted, isn't big enough. After the fix, the uid is
converted to a long. I don't know anything
After the orignal post, there is no feedback. Recently, I tried to fix
the problem. I didn't know any about Python, started debugging by inserting
print statement. Figured out in the Mac, some times it has file with uid
and gid set to 4294967294 (nobody). It seems Python doesn't accept

But then there's http://bugs.python.org/issue6873, which indicates
that perhaps lchown still has the problem in the released Python
versions. If you can figure out how to reproduce it outside

I'm building a virtual machine like my save server.
I tried rdiff-backup-devel-1.3.3 and rdiff-backup-1.2.8,1 on this
virtual host and I've got the same error
So I did :
$ pkg_add gcc45
$ pkg_add -r librsync
$ wget

First of all, I really like rdiff-backup. In most cases (all but the
