[rdiff-backup-users] rdiff-backup probm

[Davy Durham]

Hi, first let me thank you for picking back up the developement of this 
AWESOME tool!

However, I'm having an issue..

I use rdiff-backup to back up my systems (duh).. well, I nightly do a 
'--remove-older-than 30D' followed by a fetch of the new data. 

I have been using 0.12.6 since I started doing backups.. then when I had 
this problem I came to the www site and was pleasently amazed that 
version 1 was released yesterday. 

So it's been going for a long time now.  Today I needed to do a restore 
(using 0.12.6) and got this error... Then I upgraded to 1.0.0 and tried 
the restore again and the same thing is still happening.

Any ideas?  Is it perhaps caused by something 0.12.6 put in to the 
backup data, but wouldn't be a problem from now on?

The following is the output from v1.0.0:
