Ok, I think I have solved your problem (and Patrick Nagel's as well).  
If so, you won't be required to use Putty as the SSH engine on Windows.

Please try the new testing release at:

http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/rdiff-backup/testing/rdiff-backup-1.2.2pre3.exe


The problem is due to Windows writing CRLF instead of LF --  
Apparently, Putty is smart enough to detect that when it is going out  
to a Linux host as a pipe'd command and correct it.
