Hi, thanks for the response! I'd definitely prefer if rdiff-backup
handled the error gracefully by skipping the dir (and logging it
somewhere?) rather than crashing (and thus stopping a backup expected to
run overnight).

I couldn´t create a directory with "á" in it from shell either (so
technically, there is nothing wrong with rdiff-backup), but OSError
should probably be handled gracefully anyway  :-)

$ mkdir á
mkdir: cannot create directory `\341': Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide 
character

$ lsb_release -a

Thanks for rdiff-backup - it's a good and useful piece of software!
