[rdiff-backup-users] Restore failing

[ditesh]

Hi,

I'm having a little problem performing restores of backups. The source is
a samba mounted directory on my linux system and the destination is also a
samba mounted directory on the same linux system. The source and
destination files are on a MS-Windows 2000 machine. The command I use is:

rdiff-backup --windows-mode --print-statistics -v9  /mnt/windows/Dept\
Folder/ /mnt/maxtor/Dept\ Folder/

Now when I try to perform a backup, I get the following error. Is this a
bug in the system? I'd be happy to help in any way I can. Cheers.

address@hidden root]# rdiff-backup --windows-mode --print-statistics -v9 
/mnt/windows/Dept\ Folder/ /mnt/maxtor/Dept\ Folder/

destination now.
