*sigh*  Found the solution to this.  I was using Dean Gaudet's unattended
rdiff-backup pages for this.  It appears that the shell used by this
connections is an interactive shell.  Since I had some output done
within that, rdiff-backup was getting confused -- it was trying to parse
the content of "w" which it didn't like for obvious reasons.

So, it's all sorted and hopefully this will be archived and someone else
will find this if they have the same problem.
