This or that way - you need to create account on the server. So isn't  
that easier to create account for user x, and set it's shell to rdiff- 
backup --server? (i'm not sure if you can add parameters into /etc/ 
passwd shell field; if you cannot, just create script rdiff-server.sh,  
make it default shell and put your rdiff-backup --server there - this  
approach has big advantage in your case: you can do a lot more on  
server side, like ie.: creating directory for this user backup).
