Strange.  It seems that something is going wrong setting the time on
/interhost/ace/.maildir-sent/cur/1038064008.20239_5.palpable:2,S.  But
other files, like
/interhost/ace/.maildir-sent/cur/1035718019.32342_6.palpable:2,S were
set fine.  Can you think of any reason it would work for one and not
the other?

    Is that file
    /backup/test/interhost/ace/.maildir-sent/cur/rdiff-backup.tmp.1980
still around?  If so you may want to try this manually:

$ python
Python 2.2.1 (#1, Aug 30 2002, 12:15:30) 
[GCC 3.2 20020822 (Red Hat Linux Rawhide 3.2-4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os, time
>>> os.utime("/backup/test/interhost/ace/.maildir-sent/cur/rdiff-backup.tmp.1980",
>>>  (time.time(), 1038064008))

and see if it works.
