mhh - seems that rdiff-backup stumbles on some of the filesystems incapability 
of storing symlinks.


anyway - in theory rdiff-backup should be able to detect the filesystems 
capabilities and behave accordingly (i.e. storing metadata information separate 
from the filesystem)

can you provide the whole output you get from rdiff-backup ?
rdiff-backup is telling about the fs-capability checks at the very beginning.
you may need to increase verbosity for this (not sure because i always use -v5)

what version of rdiff-backup are you using ?
