Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Windows filenames not recognized

[Joe Baker]

I have not gotten to the bottom of a related problem, but I have an 
error of a file name which contains the degree symbol.  As I have more 
time I will try to report the exact error. 
rdiff-backup does successfully mirror the file, but there are error 
messages which I seem to recall also report "No such file or directory".
