[rdiff-backup-users] Errors when running rdiff-backup in Cygwin.

[Brian Moses]

Thanks to some help, I got rdiff-backup running. But now when I try and run a backup and create a test backup of a directory, I’m getting a strange Permission Denied error message. 

 

I’ve included a copy and paste of the command I issued and the resulting messages.
