[rdiff-backup-users] UnicodeEncodeError Mac OS X 10.5

[Max Duessar]

I've recently been getting these errors on my local backups (to USB
drive) on Mac OS X 10.5.4 using 1.1.16. I've upgraded to 1.1.17 and
the problem is the same. This is the error:

Exception ''ascii' codec can't encode character u'\uf022' in position
19: ordinal not in range(128)' raised of class '<type
'exceptions.UnicodeEncodeError'>':

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\uf022' in

Any ideas? Have I recently accumulated a unicode filename unknowingly?
