Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Filename too long

[rdiff]

Looking closer, /mnt/data is on the remote end.  We are using cygwin on 
windows.  The UNC //frodo/share1 is mounted on /mnt/data over windows' 
networking.  I suppose it could be windows or cygwin.  We are talking 
about making the backup server linux so if this happens, we might have 
better luck.  Seriously though, <rant>I'm not sure they should have 
filenames that freaking long anyway </rant>.
