I use python unittesting framework.  The tests are in CVS in the
testing/ directory.  (About 40% of rdiff-backup's total code is test
code that isn't included in the package.)

Unfortunately, the tests are setup for developers and not end-users,
and require some python knowledge.  Also they aren't very robust and
probably need tweaking to run on other platforms.

Daniel Hazelbaker added some Mac OS X specific tests when he patched
in resource fork support.  But they are out-of-date I doubt anyone but
he has run them.
