[rdiff-backup-users] --check-destination-dir fails after a crash

[Sebastien Maret]

Hi,

My last backup has failed because of a connection problem. When I try
to check the destination directory (on server side), I get the
following error:

% rdiff-backup --check-destination-dir --force Lorien/Backup
Exception 'RPath instance has no attribute 'inc_compressed'' raised of class

How can I regress the destination dir? I am using rdiff-backup 1.1.5 on MacOSX 
10.4.5.
