[rdiff-backup-users] rdiff-backup malfunction

[Andres Toomsalu]

Hi,

I have rdiff-backup deployed on several Gentoo boxes - it has been 
working fine.
But lately I've been seeing a lot of similar error on several boxes -

Normally first backup finishes ok but as I start another one - it fails

Any ideas whats going on?
