[rdiff-backup-users] Same problem with OSerrors

[remi . delmas . 3000]

I still get this type of error very often with 1.1.10 when backing up a windows
box to a linux box (don't know if the problem can happen linux-to-linux) :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 23, in ?

OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '<some file path>'


'<some file path>' is a path local to the repository, and look like files which
are in the source dir on the windows box but not yet in the repository, even
when there is a -exclude '**/<some file path>' in the rdiff-command line


Can something be done about that for the forth coming release?

thanks
