But, this is supposed to happen automatically with version 1.1.5,  
when appropriate.  I use version 1.1.5 to make backups on my G4  
PowerMac, and I don't need to use this option.  It is probably  
worthwhile trying to determine what is different about Wout Mertens's  
situation, so the behaviour of rdiff-backup can be improved.

What types of file system do the source and destination have?  Are  
they both HFS+, or is one of them something else?  Is one or both of  
the Macs an Intel Mac?
