[rdiff-backup-users] rdiff-backup on smbfs mounted filesystem is not working anymore.

[Ivar Janmaat]

Hello,

I have no idea what broke my backup system but I don't seem to get it to work anymore.

I have a network storage device that I can mount with smbfs.
Than I use rdiff-backup to backup to het mounted directory.
Since it was not working anymore I upgrades to the latest stable rdiff-backup.
I had to remove the --windows-mode but it still does not work.

Can someone point me in the right direction?
I have added the log file below:
