This is just a guess, but if your de-duplication process involves the
use of hard links which rdiff-backup is backing up, then your problem
may relate to the following bug (which affects hard links):
http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?26848
The bug can generate the type of errors shown in your verify log.
See if your version of rdiff-backup includes the patches attached to the
bug report. If not, apply the patches and see if that fixes any of your
problems.

Hello everybody,
Thank you for rdiff-backup it has been very useful for me for many years.
I am making a new solution to be able to use rdiff-backup with ntfs3
with a new dedup plugin, this seem to be working now.
I ran rdiff-backup on the same volume, some of these runs have been done
on currupt files while fine tuning the de-duplication read plugin.

We fixed all the errors and I can read all the documents from the source
directory fine , but rdiff is having corrupt documents in the backup
destination.
When testing I found documents with different md5sums in my backup and
the source destination.
After some investigating --verify outputs the bad documents:
http://paste.debian.net/hidden/d311cfcf/
Why is rdiff-backup running fine over the directory but still has
corrupted documents in the destination and how do I fix this without
removing the full backup.
Kind regards,
Jelle de Jong
