Hello!

As far as I can tell, the API is compatible, but CLI is new.

Oddly I didn't get such an error with the same syntax, but:

rdiff-backup: error: argument action: invalid choice: 'bin' (choose from 
'backup', 'calculate', 'compare', 'complete', 'info', 'list', 'regress', 
'remove', 'restore', 'server', 'test', 'verify')

Running v2.2.4 here.

Good luck!
