[rdiff-backup-users] Error backing up to SNAP network drive mounted locally

[Jim Steele]

I get the above error any time this drive is the backup destination.

It's admittedly a weird drive, mounted via smb, so perhaps it doesn't
support something we need it to?  Can it be worked around or fixed?

Diagnostic output is below.

Thanks,
JS
