[rdiff-backup-users] remove-older-than broken?

[Kevin Horton]

I tried to clean up some of the old cruft in my backup repository by  
using the --remove-older-than command.  I used the exact same command  
that I have successfully used in the past, with previous versions of  
rdiff-backup, but it doesn't work with v1.1.9

sudo rdiff-backup -v5 --remove-older-than 6M --force --print-
