[rdiff-backup-users] Restore Fails AssertionError (Debian ->MacOSX) 0.13.3

[Hans Fuchs]

Hello

I just started to use rdiff-backup. I backuped the complete HD of my Mac 
to a debian server. I have 0.13.3 on both machines. The Mac is running 
MacOS 10.3.2.

The backup worked without a problem. Restoring Fails. It dies just after 
a few seconds. Please give me a hint were to look at.

Here's the log:
