Hi again,

okay I got everything configured correctly - well almost everything.

i am finding that ownership on the backup rdiff sevrer is wrong - called
backup-host below.

look at this.
"-r-xr-xr-x   1 backup backup 3833936 Apr 16 17:19 kernel"

in fact all the files and directories are owned by backup:backup

what can I do about this.  here is my configuration command.  this command is
intiated by root on the machine that is being backedup.  

--- snip ---

rdiff-backup --print-statistics --exclude-globbing-filelist
/somedir/cron_scripts/rdiff-backup.exclude /
address@hidden::/home/backup/typhoon

--- snip ---

any clues here?

cheers,

Noah
