Details:

this sequence fails:

mkdir -p src/d1 src/d2
echo hi >src/d1/abc
rdiff-backup src dst
ln src/d1/abc src/d2/def
rdiff-backup src dst

it fails as so:

UpdateError d2/def Updated mirror temp file dst/d2/rdiff-backup.tmp.2 does not
match source

the problem is that the __eq__ function for AccessLists and ExtendedAttribues
require the index fields to match... but it is being invoked trying to compare
dst/d2/rdiff-backup.tmp.2 with dst/d2/def ...

i don't understand why the indices would have to compare equal -- it seems
like we'd be comparing only the attributes themselves.  that's what the
attached patch does.
