#rdiff-backup -V
rdiff-backup 0.12.7
#


Client: FreeBSD 4.X
Recieving end: FreeBSD 5.3

problem:
When copying eg /sbin/ccdconfig it crashes:

# ls -l /sbin/ccdconfig
-r-xr-sr-x  1 root  kmem  66248 Oct 17 14:47 /sbin/ccdconfig

or, any file with "s" flag..

/usr/local/bin/rdiff-backup -v5 --exclude /proc --exclude-special-files 
--exclude-device-files / backup@<host>::/usr/local/backups/rdiff/<computer>

Processing changed file sbin/ccdconfig

if i change the login to 
/usr/local/bin/rdiff-backup -v5 --exclude /proc --exclude-special-files 
--exclude-device-files / root@<host>::/usr/local/backups/rdiff/<computer>

(yes, root)

then all works..

why?
