I didn't get any attachment.

I think you're basically doing:

mkdir dos unix backup
printf "foo\r\nbar">dos/any.hpp
rdiff-backup dos backup
cp dos/any.hpp unix/any.hpp
dos2unix unix/any.hpp
rdiff-backup unix backup
rdiff-backup --compare-hash-at-time 0B unix backup
rdiff-backup --compare-hash-at-time 1B dos backup

I don't get the results you do though with the above.  I am running
rdiff-backup 1.1.15 on Ubuntu Hardy.  I get:

"No changes found.  Directory matches archive data."

for both, as expected.  It would be useful if you run the exact test
case above.  As a final note, it is not really typical usage to backup
from two different directories.
