[rdiff-backup-users] more strange issues with 0.12.1

[Robert Weber]

I am initalizing a new mirror from my bsd box to a solaris box and I am
getting strange errors(v5).  It appears to be a combination between the
unknown type file(door files) and some bug in the python gzip
implementation.  I thought the door file problem was fixed in v0.10.

Exception '/etc/.name_service_door' raised of class 'C.UnknownFileTypeError':
