[rdiff-backup-users] Probleme with rdiff on smbfs

[EliW]

Just tonight I realized something ... I still have one 'small' issue.

Currently, when doing backups, it's escaping all capitals, which is annoying :)

Theoretically I should be able to use the --override-chars-to-quote to stop 
that.

However:

If I try to do that against an already existing backup., it gives an error, 
that's ok, I expected that.

So, I go and make a new backup with a command such as:
/usr/bin/rdiff-backup -v5 --override-chars-to-quote ';' /home/svn 
/mounts/drobo/Backups/quiver.svn

It works, and things are uppercase properly/etc.

But then if I run it AGAIN, I get the following error:


sh-3.1# /usr/bin/rdiff-backup -v5 --override-chars-to-quote ';' /home/svn 
/mounts/drobo/Backups/quiver.svn

Otherwise, it's working fine if I don't care about the escaping ... but it 
would be nice to avoid the escaping altogether.[/code]
