I was getting Security Violation errors. This group indicated I needed to
upgrade to 1.1.7. I did this, but still had the errors.
Today I saw the patches listed below and decided to give them a try.
http://www.visiwave.com/download/rdiff_backup/rpath.py.patch
http://www.visiwave.com/download/rdiff_backup/Security.py.patch
http://www.visiwave.com/download/rdiff_backup/FilenameMapping.py.patch
http://www.visiwave.com/download/rdiff_backup/fs_abilities.py.patch
I am using a Windows XP machine and a Windows 2000 machine. I installed all
the patches to see if the problem was fixed. I am still getting an error,
but not the same one. See the trace at the bottom for details.
I am not sure I upgraded or installed the patches correctly. How can I
ensure I have a clean install with no leftovers from a previous
installation?
