Ok, I added the endless loop, and looking in the rdiff-backup-data, I see 
this:

---

As you can see, after I attempted deleting the .0 directory, the insides
were wiped out. But it still didn't want to remove the directory itself.  
Is it possible the program is currently sitting in that directory and
making it busy? Once I Ctrl-C rdiff-backup out of the loop, I am able to
delete the directory.
