I'm using rdiff-backup-0.11.4. The machine being backed up is "Linux  
xxxxxxx 2.4.9-31 #1 Tue Feb 26 06:53:37 EST 2002 i686 unknown". It's  
being backup up to: "Darwin xxxxxxxxxx 6.6 Darwin Kernel Version 6.6:  
Thu May  1 21:48:54 PDT 2003; root:xnu/xnu-344.34.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC   
Power Macintosh powerpc".

thanks,
