The "security violation" is raised by rdiff-backup's internal security
scheme. Recently (v1.0.0?) a hole was plugged in it, and as an
unintended consequence some options like --create-full-path may now
cause false positives.
Please run rdiff-backup again with -v7 and post all the traceback
information it spews before the crash.
