It *is* handled. The only reason that information is printed is  
because the exception is being sent across the network to be handled  
at the other end, instead of being handled by the end that generated  
(as is the design for that particular case).

Furthermore, the message is very friendly, if you are used to reading  
rdiff-backup logs at high verbosity. :-) The question of whether it  
should be at -v 5 or -v 6, 7, or 8 is separate.
