[rdiff-backup-users] Trying to back up an OS X 10.6 client

[Ben Ford]

The command line used:

        rdiff-backup -v5 --force --include-symbolic-links 
--exclude-special-files       \
                        --exclude **/cdrom      \
                        --exclude **/dev        \
                        --exclude **/proc       \
                        --exclude **/sys        \
                        --exclude **/tmp        \
                        --exclude **/Network    \
                        --exclude **/cores      \
                        --exclude **/net        \
                        --exclude **/.Spotlight-V100    \
                        --exclude **/.fseventsd         \
                        --exclude **/.Trashes           \
                        ${additional}                   \
                        ${client}::/ ${path}/${client} >> ${output} 2>&1

It sort of looks like the file was overwritten and two different runs are 
overlapping, but I wipe the file before the execution of rdiff-backup, so if 
this is so then it's done by rdiff-backup itself.  Anyone have suggestions for 
getting this working?


The output file:
