Fatal Error: New quoting requirements!

Hmm, try this debugging patch and post what happens:

http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/rdiff_backup/fs_abilities.py.diff?r2=1.22&r1=1.21&diff_format=u

It won't fix the problem but should give some more information.

Also try backing up into a new repository and let's see if that works.

Thanks for your testing,

So, it looks like I still need to disable the uppercase character encoding.  I removed the partial backup, and tried again:

Now it has been happily churning away through a new full backup for over an hour, with many more hours to go if it is successful.  I'll report back tomorrow morning with the results.

I have concluded:

1. The v1.1.0 is not compatible with backups created with v1.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.4.2, with both the source and destination on HFS+ volumes.

2. v1.1.0 appears to be able to create a new full backup on OS X 10.4.2, with both the source and destination on HFS+ volumes.

Well, it didn't take as long as I expected to finish that full back up.  It was successful, using a command line of:

sudo rdiff-backup -v7 --override-chars-to-quote '' --print-statistics --exclude-globbing-filelist /rdiff-backup_exclude_list /Users/kwh /Volumes/Ext_BU/Users/kwh/rdiffbu_v1_1_0
