[rdiff-backup-users] RDIFF-F!CKUP (Very frusttrated)

[Golden Butler]

Okay, I'm almost ready to give up on rdiff-backup! I really don't to do 
so because I really like, but the this problem I've been having is 
starting to take a toll on me. Fortunately, I've kind of narrowed the 
problem down to the following.

Ok, I have the following source directory


source directory = /home/golden/testy

The contents of /home/golden/testy are:

test.txt
test2.txt
test3.txt

Now, I run

rdiff-backup -v7 --print-statistics /home/golden/testy 
/iomega/bkps/loomis/gtest

The backup runs with no problem, this is the first backup into an empty 
directory.

Then I modify /home/golden/testy/test.txt by adding a line to the file 
and then save it.

Then I run the above rdiff-backup script, the evil happens! Rdiff-backup 
fails with the following error:

Why would rdiff-backup fail at this point? If I can't get rdiff-backup 
to backup a folder with three small text files, how would ever get it 
backup up my company's data of over 50 GB? Any help or suggestions is 
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
