The file /home/news/spool/articles/alt/activism/697295 is probably  
duplicated in the activism directory. An `ls` should confirm. You can  
safely ignore it (from a backup perspective) since rdiff-backup  
ignores the duplicate file.

However, if ls confirms that a duplicate file exists, you might want  
to take /home/news/spool/articles/alt/activism offline and run a fsck  
on it.

I remember a previous post to the mailing list where this same error  
came up, and, sure enough, there was a duplicate file in the directory  
(which was also a news spool directory).
