Hi,

Running rdiff-backup 1.2.2 on both ends (and also seen running 1.2.1
on both ends) I see the following problem when running this command

rdiff-backup --create-full-path --exclude-sockets --verbosity 5
/home/username address@hidden:/home/ruser

Both machines are Fedora 10. Output follows:

Using rdiff-backup version 1.2.2
Executing ssh -C address@hidden rdiff-backup --server
