[rdiff-backup-users] failure to restore

[Hunter Matthews]

All,
 This is a traceback from a linux server attempting to restore a backup
of a mac client to a mac client. I've tried a couple of different
clients, and they all fail quickly, on the \xaf file creation. 
Any idea whats going on?

address@hidden clients]# rdiff-backup --force -r 1H tpsun-g4/Users/
address@hidden::/restores/
