So the backup repository is being moved from fat32 to ext3?  I think
it should work if you just copy the whole repository over (using
rsync, or rdiff-backup itself), then continue as normal.

The new configuration won't need quoting, but rdiff-backup should
continue quoting to preserve compatibility with the rest of the
repository.
