[rdiff-backup-users] Backup to smbfs

[Andrea Talucci]

I all,
I have some problem using rdiff-backup to write to a NAS drive locally
mounted as smbfs. I've browsed this list for 2 days finding some suggest
but no one resolving...
It seems that the error is caused by some chmod command, that (I
guess...) cannot be executed on a smbfs.

Can I have some help ?

Cheers,
 Andy

Here is the output:
