[rdiff-backup-users] Long filenames (again)

[Thanos Diacakis]

Hi all,

I am backing up from OSX to Windows and keep getting this error:

UpdateError Documents/OmniFocus Backups/OmniFocus Backup before

This is preceded by a large number or [Erron 2]... but instead of  
ignoring them and continuing, rdiff keeps dying eventually.

Any ideas?

Thanks
