[rdiff-backup-users] Directory Permissions Query

[Paul Cuttriss]

Hi

I am using 1.2.8-win32 on Windows XP as a client and backing up (using a 
plink/ssh connection) to an Ubuntu server running 1.2.8.

No errors, but a weird permissions problem(?). All directories created 
are 777, apart from the rdiff-backup-data directory and subs which are 
700 (as expected).

If I mount the remote filesystem using Samba and run it as a 'local' 
backup the directory permissions seem to be sane.

Output of a run below. Any thoughts? Is this expected? Or have I missed 
something obvious......which could be likely :-)

Thanks
