[rdiff-backup-users] rdiff to SMB share?

[Matt Ettus]

I have tried to use rdiff to back up my laptop to an SMB share (on a
Buffalo Linkstation NAS) using this command:

        rdiff-backup /home/matt /mnt/linkstation/mnt1

It fails with this error:

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/fs_abilities.py",
line 245, in supports_unusual_chars
    assert not rp.lstat()

I have no problems running rdiff to a plain local directory like this:

        rdiff-backup /home/matt/test1 /home/matt/test2

I am using rdiff version 1.0.1 from the FC4 rpm.  Does rdiff not work in
this manner?


Thanks,
Matt
