Hmm, interesting. I was just thinking about this bug the other day and  
hoping to figure it out.

Can you send me:

The complete output of:

$ rdiff-backup -v8 --print-statistics --exclude /data/EDD-Batches / 
data //backup/data-rdiff

Recursive directory listing of:
/data/Common Files/Copy of Goldmine/MailBox/Attach/
/backup/data-rdiff/Common Files/Copy of Goldmine/Mailbox/Attach/

plus the listing of /backup/data-rdiff/ and /backup/data-rdiff/rdiff- 
backup-data/


Thanks!
