[rdiff-backup-users] "warning security violation" on fs_abilities.restore_set_globals when trying to restore [ctd]

[Klaas Gadeyne]

Hi,

it seems like I have the same problem as described previously on this 
mailinglist
<http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg02352.html>

To be short: 
- backups work fine
- restores don't

sh-3.1$ rdiff-backup -v7 --restore-as-of now test-backup 
pc00136-backup::/tmp/testrestore
Using rdiff-backup version 1.1.15
Using mirror root directory /var/backups/test-backup
Executing ssh -C pc00136-backup rdiff-backup --server
Registering connection 1
Sending back exception
Warning Security Violation!
Bad request for function: fs_abilities.restore_set_globals
with arguments: [<rdiff_backup.rpath.RPath instance at 0xb79201ac>]
[snip rest of python stuff that I don't understand]

I'm trying this on 2 Debian stable systems (using the debian packages, that 
is).  I tried with *both* the official stable package and the one in backports, 
so the issue seems to be unrelated to rdiff version 1.1.5.

sh-3.1$ ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives/rdiff-backup_1.1.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 186224 2008-03-20 09:32 
/var/cache/apt/archives/rdiff-backup_1.1.15-2~bpo40+1_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 175064 2006-12-27 23:02 
/var/cache/apt/archives/rdiff-backup_1.1.5-4_amd64.deb

Unfortunately, it seems that no solution was provided (at least not *on* list 
[*]).  Any suggestions to further debug this issue?

thx,

Klaas
