Details:

This error pops up when I use the following to back some remote system up:

/usr/bin/rdiff-backup --print-statistics --exclude /tmp --exclude /mnt
--exclude /proc --exclude /sys --exclude /dev --exclude /cdrom --exclude
/floppy --exclude /backup REMOTE_HOST::/ /backups/REMOTE_HOST

Where REMOTE_HOST is a valid hostname that the backup server can reach.

I naturally added --exclude-sockets to the commandline above which caused a
spureous amount of errors.

I then turned debugging on by adding v5 to the commandline and the errors
disappeared. Running the backup again after turning the debugging back off the
errors (both the initial and subsequent ones) were gone.

I wonder if some inconsistent state was not trampled by the debugging switch
being turned on which had the side effect of fixing the problem :)
