/mnt/L_drive server side is a Windows share. I believe the problem is due in general to the way rdiff-backup names its files. It uses reserved characters that windows rejects, mainly the ':' character it uses in the timestamps. These files go in the rdiff-backup-data dir. I posted what you said below along with my /etc/fstab file. Thanks for helping, -Kevin
