That's just the thing, the permissions on the backup server are all set 
correctly.  The problem isn't with permissions at all because even I 
login as address@hidden, I still get the Security Violation error.

It just seems like this option is broken.  If I try running rdiff-backup 
on my client as root and connect to the backup server as root, I get the 
same error.

Any other ideas for me to try?  Also, where would I submit a bug report 
if this is a bug?

I'm not really familiar with Python too much, so is there a setting or 
something that's preventing this from running in a global config somewhere?

Thanks,
Mike
