[rdiff-backup-users] bug? rdiff-backup to a child-subdir

[Joris]

Hia list,

I've ran into an exotic situation where rdiff-backup fails. I don't know 
if this is a bug, or just a pbkec error.

Rdiff-backup fails when running:
rdiff-backup  --exclude-other-filesystems /root /root/backup/root
/root/backup is another partition, so it should not go into an endless loop.

The same happens when I run rdiff-backup --exclude-filelist /root/backup 
/root /root/backup/root

I'm running debian stable, with a backported (that explains the odd 
strings in the error messages) rdiff-backup version 0.13.3
Here is the error output:

rdiff-backup  --exclude-filelist /root/backup /root /root/backup/root
########## /root /tmp

Any suggestions for workarrounds?
