After looking at the mirror_metadata files, I noticed that the  
directory in question is actually a symlink with an absolute path: / 
usr/lib/nagios/libexec. This symlink on the backup machine of course  
points to the backup machine's /usr/lib/nagios/libexec.

Ugh, how dumb of me. Rdiff-backup is working exactly as intended.

Thanks for your suggestions.
