[rdiff-backup-users] Additional output from version 0.13.4

[phowell]

Hi

I have been running rdiff-backup 0.10.2 for a couple of years and its 
been a great asset (and life saver :-)

I recently upgraded to rdiff-backup 0.13.4 running on Debian and it all 
seems to be working fine except that I am getting an additional block of 
information (Detected abilitites.....) (see below)  in my logs for one 
of the directories that are backed up. The backup is a remote backup 
over a slow internet connection. One directory 'sigmalive' produces an 
addition block of text.

The script for this sigmalive directory is almost identical to the lines 
for the each of the other directories (see very end of message). However 
this one directory consistently produces this additional output. Is this 
something I should be worried about?

FYI: We use 0.10.2 for an onsite backup and 0.13.4 with the offsite 
backup. The two systems are completely independant. they backup about 
40G of server data. It has been called upon many times to recover 
deleted files etc. Thanks to everyone who has been involved in 
developing this system.

I had a look at the docs and wiki but could not see any explination.

Cheers

Peter Howell.
