[rdiff-backup-users] No space left errors

[Bob Mead]

Howdy:
I'm running rdiff v1.04 on linux backing up to a v1.05 install on 
another linux box. I am using a command script that has been working for 
some time, as follows (I added the --force option to try to fix the 
problem and also the -v5 option to see some more output):

rdiff-backup --force -v5 --print-statistics --exclude '**tmp' --exclude 
'**mp3' --exclude '**dat' --exclude '**exe' --include 
/home/'*'/.profile/Application'*'/Qualcomm --include 
/home/'*'/.profile/Desktop --include /home/'*'/.profile/My'*' --exclude 
/home/'*'/.profile --include /home/'*'/profile/Application'*'/Qualcomm 
--include /home/'*'/profile/Desktop --include /home/'*'/profile/My'*' 
--exclude /home/'*'/profile --exclude /home/'*'/.'**' --include /etc 
--include /home --include /var --include /root --exclude / / 
root@<server name>::/home/backups/lon

rdiff-backup --force --remove-older-than 2M root@<server 
name>::/home/backups/lon


At some point recently, the destination server did fill up, which 
generated a lot of 'no space left on device' errors in my rdiff-backup 
backup.logs. I have since cleared out ~260GB of space on the destination 
server, and yet when I try to backup the 27GB from the v1.04 server, I 
am still getting a "no space left" error.
I've appended the last lines of the backup.log below. Any ideas on what 
is happening here?
TIA for any help,
